Yugoslavia – Serbia stamps year 1993 Famous people set MNH

The “Famous People” (or “Anniversaries”) set issued by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) in 1993, which was primarily Serbia and Montenegro, featured prominent Serbian cultural figures.

The set typically includes:

• Nikola Tesla (Inventor, Electrical Engineer) – Honored on his 80th birthday in a similar stamp in 1936, he was a famous personality on Yugoslav stamps.
• Miloš Crnjanski (Writer and Journalist)
• Aleksa Šantić (Poet)

These figures were part of the 1993 stamp issues that often included multiple cultural and historical personalities under a general “Anniversaries” or “Famous People” theme.

Due to the hyperinflation in 1993, the face values on these stamps were extremely high, which is a notable characteristic for philatelists collecting this era of Yugoslavian stamps.
