🕍 About Mount Athos:
Mount Athos (the Monastic Community of Mount Athos) is a peninsula in Greece that has been a major center of Eastern Orthodox monastic life since the 10th century. Several of its monasteries have historic Serbian connections, especially the Hilandar Monastery, one of the most important Serbian monasteries on the peninsula.

📦 What the Set Includes

• The set is typically offered as a mint never hinged (MNH) set of stamps issued under the Serbia / Yugoslavia philatelic program for that year.
• It appears as “Serbian Monasteries on Athos” in dealer listings and thematic catalogue groups for 2001 issues.
• Exact catalogue numbers (e.g., Scott/Michel) aren’t widely documented online, but the set is recognized among topical collectors and available through stamp dealers.

🖼️ Design & Style

• The stamps typically feature illustrations of monastery architecture, likely including well‑known Athonite sites (e.g., Hilandar and other monasteries significant to Serbian Orthodoxy).
• Designs are multicolor and intended for collector appeal rather than standard postal definitive use.
