Playing-Card Tax Stamps from Yugoslavia

After WWI, Yugoslavia was first called the Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, and from 1929 it was the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. For playing-card tax stamps from the earlier Kingdom of Serbia, please see the Serbia page.

This is a stamp most probably from the Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. The text is in Kyrillian letters. The value is 50 Dinars. The sign in the middle might also be the coat-of-arms of the earlier Kingdom of Serbia, but I assume 'VIII - 922' to mean 'August 1922'.
The stamp was on the Ace of Diamonds.

This is a stamp for playing-cards issued from 1919.
The value is 50 Dinars, and the overprint says 'ZA KARTE i DOMINE' ('for cards and dominoes'), and '1924'.
If I read the text below the overprint correctly, the original stamp is from the Kingdom of Serbia.

I read that the stamp above was used from 1920 in the Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, but actually it shows the coat-of-arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, so that it should be from after 1929. The text is 'TAKSENA MARKA ZA KARTE I DOMINE' ('tax stamp for cards and dominoes'), with the same text repeated in Kyrillian writing, and the value is 50 Dinars.

This is the same stamp again, but with a cancellation. If I see it correctly, there is 'Jugoslavia' on one of the stamps (the one at the bottom right). I do not have additional information.

This is another stamp showing the coat-of-arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, so it should be from after 1929.
The text is 'TAKS MARKA ZA KARTE I DOMINE' ('tax stamp for cards and dominoes'), with the same text repeated in Kyrillian writing, and the value is overprinted this time, again 50 Dinars.
Having the value overprinted might mean that the stamp is earlier than the previous two stamps, but the 1924 stamp above already had a value of 50 Dinars, too.

This stamp was in use in Yugoslavia in 1933.
I cannot read the Cyrillian text on the left, but the following text should mean '50 Din. Tax', a value of 50 Dinars, and at the bottom is the date '1933'.

This stamp was together with the previous stamp on one card (Seven of Bells). I do not know whether it is a tax stamp. The only word I can definitely read is 'ZAGREB' below the coat-of-arms, and again in Cyrillic letters above it.

The stamps below were used in Ljubljana, which is today in Slovenia.

This stamp was in use presumably c. 1930.
The text is 'Glavna cartnarnica Ljubljana' (Main Duty Office Ljubljana).

This stamp was in use in Yugoslavia when it was under Italian occupation during WWII (1941 - 1943, as Italian province).
The text at the top is 'Dogana Principale - Lubiana - Cassiero' (Main Duty Office - Ljubljana - Cashier), the text at the bottom is the same in Slovenian language.

These stamps were on the Ace of Hearts.

There was also a stamp on the wrapper. It was the same as the one above around 1930, but it was slightly different under Italian occupation during WWII.

This is the Italian occupation (Italian province) wrapper stamp.
The text at the top is 'Provincia di Lubiana - Dogana Principale - Lubiana ' (Province of Ljubljana - Main Duty Office - Ljubljana), the text at the bottom is again the same in Slovenian language.
