re: Yugoslavia Overprinted " STT VUJNA"

Stamp issued May 12, 1953.
Trieste signed over to the Yugoslavs on October 5, 1954.

Makes me wonder about how stamps were 'chosen' for overprinting....

" ... Makes me wonder about how stamps were 'chosen' for overprinting.. ...?

Quite often the stamp is chosen by what is available, such as when one value starts to run out and there is a multiplicity of sheets of a value that does not easily fit any particular current rate. So in that case, they solve the problem by re-valueing the unused to a common rate and off the shelves the extras go.
Some times there is a change of jurisdiction and the stamps of one nation are overprinted by the New Government.
Sometimes rebels, without much impedimenta in their baggage train drive out the existing government forces and having no functional printing press,the rebels overprint existing stocks found in the local post office basement for use during hostilities.
Sometimes there is a currency change and the money that was used, often for years, is no longer valid so the stamps are re-valued in the new currency.
Sometimes hyper-inflation outruns the speed of the presses to keep up production as in 1921-'23 Germany. Or the rates may be reduced as in certain Belgian stamps from the 1930s (???)
Some overprints simply correct an error.
Other overprints are used to precancel stamps so that mass mailers can affix the overprinted, and by then cancelled stamp, and deliver their outbound mail to the post office in bundles, usually presorted..
In some areas stamps were used to pay some tax for utilities so the electric company or water management board will cancel stamps with a name or initials to prevent profligate employees from sending out masses of Holiday cards at the company's expense.
I could go on, but my monitor is running out of pixel ink

re: Yugoslavia Overprinted " STT VUJNA"

It is Trieste zone B - Yugoslavia liberated area, STT (Slobodna Teritorija Trst = Free Territory Trieste), I like this territory, as it is not a lot of issues and easy to complete.
Last issue come to the market at Oct 9, 1954 year.
