🔍 Important Note on Bosnia Stamps (1999)
As noted in the previous response, in 1999, Bosnia and Herzegovina had three separate postal administrations:
- BH Pošta (Sarajevo): Issued the Minerals set detailed above.
- HP Mostar (Croat Post): Issued a stamp around this time with the theme “Earth Day – Crystal of the Mineral Zepter Quartz,” but it’s typically considered a separate, single stamp issue rather than a four-stamp “Minerals” set.
- Pošte Srpske (Republika Srpska): Had its own separate issue program.
