My blog visitors - demographics

I am not sure how Google determines age and gender of site users, but I found the results for my blog quite predicted and aligned with philately in general. For me, the positive fact is that interest in the age group of 45 to 54 has been increasing.

Demographics overview of my blog visitors - age and gender.

1941 MEĐIMURJE, Hrvatska država

In a small print run, during the cleaning of clichés at positions 1 and 2, the inscription "Država Hrvatska" was rearranged to "Hrvatska država". Only the 0.25 din, 0.50 din, 1 din, 1.50 din and 3 din exist with this variety (2 din probably exists, but has not yet been found).

1941 Međimurje, local provisional issue, 1 din horizontal strip of five, the upper row from a block of ten with "Hrvatska država" variety at positions 1 and 2. An exceptionally rare item! Including all the values only three such rows have been found to date. Certificate Vilfan.
