Croatia 2010-04-29 Single
On April 29, 2010, Croatia Post (Hrvatska posta) issued what appears to be two map stamps marking the opening of the Expo 2010 in Shanghai China and Croatia’s participation in the Expo. The theme of Croatia pavilion at Expo 2010 is “Diversity of Cities, Diversities of Life.” This theme is also echoed in the two stamps. The first, a 10 kn (kuna) single adhesive depicts a block plan of the Old City of Dubrovnik in the background. In the foreground, the words “Expo Shanghai” in English characters along with the Chinese kanji for “Shanghai” and the denomination of the stamp are shown. The second stamp is part of a mini-sheet. The design and denomination of the stamp is the same as the first issue, the back ground of the mini-sheet is red and various lines in the background portray the subway network of the Shanghai Metro.
