🇾🇺 Definitive / Postal Services Stamps of Yugoslavia (1971 – 1980)

🪪 What “Definitive” Means

Definitive stamps are regular‑use postage stamps issued in many denominations and printed in larger quantities for everyday mail — unlike commemorative sets which mark specific events. They typically remain in use for several years and often depict national motifs, landscapes, tourism views, architecture, animals, people, transport, or generic designs. Wikipedia

According to stamp catalogues and listings:

📅 Main Definitive Series Active During 1971–1980

1. Tourism / Scenic Views Definitive Series (1971 – mid‑1980s)

• This was the primary definitive series in use through most of the 1970s, covering scenes of Yugoslavia’s tourist attractions, landscapes, and city views such as Herceg Novi, Ohrid, Bled, etc.
• Issued as a long‑running set with many denominations over the decade, in various printings, papers, and phosphor tagging variants.
• Catalog references typically cover many stamps over multiple years — locally often under Michel ~1427–1430 and variations for the early part of the series.

Typical examples from this series include:

• 1971 Definitive Set (Tourism scenes) – 4 values (e.g., Michel 1427–1430 in normal paper and phosphor versions)
• Herceg Novi locality definitive (Michel 1444X/Y etc.) from 1971 in normal and phosphor varieties.

These are the core “postal” stamps used on everyday mail across the 1970s.

2. Monument Series Continued into 1970s

• In the broader catalog, definitives included monuments or civic motifs notably from the mid‑1960s onward, which sometimes continued or were re‑issued into the early 1970s as postal issues.
