On this cover from Sremski Karlovci, Serbia, is a set of four stamps from 2020 that commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade. Clockwise from top-right:
- The last bear of Jastrebac mountain, shot in 1885 by King Milan I Obrenović
- Jarandolite, a rare calcium borate mineral, found by geologist Dobrica Stojanović and described in 1992
- This one is a lable: a rare fungus, Myriostoma coliforme, commonly known as the saltshaker earthstar or pepper pot.
- A fossilized skull of an extinct crooked horned antelope
- Rtanjska metvica (a type of mint) that is critically endangered and endemic to Mt. Rtanj in Serbia
