Value and Availability
As a commemorative issue from a modern European nation, this stamp is readily available for collectors and has a modest market value.
- Mint Never Hinged (MNH) copies of the single stamp are typically listed by dealers for approximately €1.00 to €3.00 (or equivalent in USD/GBP).
- The stamp was also part of the complete 1993 year set for Croatia, which includes other commemoratives and definitives from that year.
