Issued in 1961, this commemorative Yugoslavia stamp set marks the 20th anniversary of the Yugoslav People’s Liberation Struggle (1941–1961). The four designs reproduce powerful modernist war memorial sculptures created by leading Yugoslav artists, reflecting the country’s distinctive post-war memorial style. Each stamp pairs bold colour fields with monumental sculpture imagery, emphasizing sacrifice, resistance, and unity. Printed by Courvoisier S.A., the set is admired for both its artistic merit and historical symbolism. A strong thematic choice for collectors of WWII history, monuments, sculpture on stamps, and socialist-era Yugoslavia.
