This set of stamps was issued to benefit Serbian Prisoners of War.

The stamps were printed in 10×5 sheets, with the stamps of each 5×5 half-sheet forming a cross pattern — unburelaged stamps at the center, surrounded by partially burelaged stamps, with full burelaged stamps on the outside.  The center row of the sheets shows stamps of all 4 designs. The half sheets can be found with and without the engravers mark stamps in the center (MiNr. 54 A II-MiNr. 57 A II).
