Verigar issue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verigar (from verige meaning "chains") was the first postage stamp series of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs,[1] issued in Slovenia after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy at the end of World War I. The name of the stamp series is derived from the Slovene word veriga, meaning 'chain', as some stamps depict a slave breaking the chains. The scene symbolizes the liberation of the Slavic peoples from Austria-Hungary.
