Description
For your consideration is an exceedingly rare and historically significant c.1935 official royal postage stamp featuring King Peter II of Yugoslavia, boldly hand-signed "Peter II R" in blue fountain pen ink by King Peter himself. Measuring approximately 0.75 inches by 2.0 inches, this original postage stamp remains unused and uncirculated, preserving its pristine condition. Its rarity, coupled with the clear, authentic royal signature, makes this artifact a museum-quality treasure and a one-of-a-kind piece of history.
King Peter II Karaorevi (1923–1970) was the last monarch of Yugoslavia, reigning from October 1934, following the assassination of his father, King Alexander I, until his deposition in November 1945. A member of the Karaorevi dynasty, Peter II became a symbol of national unity during a time of political upheaval and global conflict. His reign spanned pivotal moments in European history, including the outbreak of World War II, the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia, and the establishment of a communist government that ultimately ended the monarchy.
This unused and uncirculated postage stamp, bearing the King’s personal signature, captures a unique intersection of royal history and philately. As both a functional object and a work of national symbolism, it reflects the legacy of the Karaorevi dynasty and the profound historical shifts of the mid-20th century. Its fine condition and guaranteed authenticity enhance its significance, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own an item personally signed by the last King of Yugoslavia.
This extraordinary artifact is a must-have for collectors of royal memorabilia, philatelic rarities, or Yugoslavian history. Its historical value, combined with its exceptional preservation and the personal touch of King Peter II's signature, ensures it will be a centerpiece in any prestigious collection. This stamp is a tangible connection to a bygone era, representing the final chapter of the Yugoslav monarchy.
