Pro Juventute - Coat of Arms of Uri

Switzerland · 1938 · 10+5c

This semi-postal stamp features the coat of arms of the Canton of Uri, which depicts a black bull's head with a red tongue and a red nose ring on a yellow field. It was issued as part of the annual Pro Juventute (For the Youth) series, with the 5 centime surtax going to support child welfare charities in Switzerland.

The Pro Juventute issues are a long-standing Swiss tradition, raising funds for youth causes since 1912. The 1938 series focused on cantonal coats of arms, reflecting Switzerland's federal identity and regional pride.
