Yugoslavia year 1981 European Shooting Championship tax stamp MNH

Yugoslavia issued a Postal Tax Stamp (often referred to as a “tax stamp” or “charity stamp” in this context) in 1981 to commemorate the European Shooting Championships.

Here are the key details about the stamp:

• Year of Issue: 1981
• Event Commemorated: European Shooting Championships (sometimes listed as “Competitive Shooting” or “SPET ’81 championship”).
• Type of Stamp: Postal Tax Stamp (often a charity or contribution stamp, not a regular postage stamp, used to raise funds for the event or a related cause).
• Obligatory Use: These stamps were often required for use on mail during a specific period in a particular region. For this 1981 issue, the stamp was reportedly in obligatory use in Montenegro between August 15 and October 15, 1981.
• Denomination: One common denomination found is 1 dinar (1d).

If you are a collector, you may find variations such as:

• Imperforated pairs
• Different types (e.g., Type I, Type II with different perforations)
• Stamps issued in sheets (e.g., a sheet of 50)
• Stamps used in Titograd (the name of Podgorica at the time and the capital of Montenegro where the obligatory use applied).
