Belgium 1960 Anti-Cancer Fund Semi-Postal Stamps

Belgium · 1960 · 2.50F + 1F and 5F + 2F

This set of two semi-postal stamps from Belgium, issued in 1960, features allegorical designs dedicated to the Anti-Cancer Fund. One stamp depicts a woman with a child and a dove, while the other shows a woman with a child and flowers, symbolizing hope and life.

These stamps were issued to raise funds for the Anti-Cancer Fund, with a surcharge added to their face value directly benefiting cancer research and support initiatives. This reflects a common philatelic practice of using stamps for charitable fundraising.
