About this issue

Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 with the approval of the Congress of Berlin, although it formally remained part of the Ottoman Empire. So the first stamps of 1879 carry no inscription and no country name – just the Austrian double eagle and the value in the upper corners. The post was run by the army, which is why StampWorld lists the same stamps under military post too.
