Yugoslavia – Trieste B year 1953 stamps Motor Races – full set MNH**

The Yugoslavia – Trieste B 1953 Motor Races set refers to stamps issued by the Yugoslavian Military Administration that governed Zone B of the Free Territory of Trieste (STT/VUJNA – Slobodni Teritorij Trsta / Vojna Uprava Jugoslavenske Armije).

This set commemorates a local sporting event, likely a Motorcycle and Automobile Rally/Race held in the region.

The set is known to consist of four stamps (a complete set) and the main subject matter features:

• Racing Vehicles: The stamps depict stylized images of vehicles participating in the event. This typically includes:
  • Automobiles (Cars)
  • Motorcycles
• Action Scenes: The images usually show the vehicles in motion, often rounding corners or speeding along the route.

The stamps are an overprinted issue. The underlying Yugoslavian stamps would have been overprinted with the specific text related to the administration of the territory, such as “STT VUJNA” or “STT Vuja,” to denote their use exclusively in Zone B of Trieste.

Note: The Free Territory of Trieste (FTT) was divided into Zone A (administered by the Allied Military Government, AMG) and Zone B (administered by Yugoslavia) from 1947 until 1954, when the territory was effectively dissolved, with Zone B becoming part of Yugoslavia.
