Switzerland · 1938 · 10 Fr

This stamp, part of the annual Pro Juventute (For Youth) charity series, features a portrait of a young Spanish girl. It was designed by the artist Karl Bickel. The stamp is notable for its high face value and its connection to the charity supporting Swiss youth.

Issued in 1938, this stamp was sold with a surcharge to raise funds for the Pro Juventute foundation. The 'L'espagnol' variety is a rare color error, printed in a distinct yellow-olive and green shade instead of the standard olive-bistre and green.
