YUGOSLAVIA, Public Telephone Booth Postage Stamps, 1988 - 1992




In July 1988, the Yugoslavian Post Office printed a 23 x 26 mm stamp depicting a payphone with a woman on a call. It was part of a wider set illustrated by D. Cudov that was issued over a two year period marking the work of the postal services. Other denominations in the series showed mailboxes, computers, envelopes, post women and even carrier pigeons.

The payphone stamp has a range of variants, from a colour change to overprints that reflected the ongoing revaluations of the Dinar due to a chronic inflation in the 1990s, and the independence of nations within former Yugoslavia.
