Pro Juventute: Child with Dandelion

Switzerland · 1980 · 30+15c

This semi-postal stamp is part of the annual Pro Juventute (For Youth) series. The design features a young child blowing the seeds from a dandelion clock, a classic symbol of childhood wishes and the passage of time. The stamp carries a surcharge, with the additional 15 centimes designated for youth welfare projects in Switzerland.

The Pro Juventute series, issued annually since 1912, is a long-standing Swiss tradition raising funds for child and youth welfare organizations through the sale of these surcharged stamps.
