This semi-postal stamp from Switzerland features a charming design of a young child holding a red apple.

The design is simple yet evocative, capturing a moment of childhood innocence.

The Pro Juventute series, initiated in 1912, is a long-standing Swiss tradition of issuing charity stamps before Christmas to support youth programs and services across the country.
