Germany · 1933 · 12+8 Rpf

This 12+8 Rpf stamp, issued in 1933, commemorates 10 years of German Nothilfe (social help) and features a portrait of Elisabeth of Hungary. It was issued exclusively as part of Miniature Sheet No. 2.

The Nothilfe (Emergency Aid) program was established in 1923 to provide social welfare during times of economic hardship in Germany. Elisabeth of Hungary (1207-1231), a princess and saint known for her charity, was a fitting symbol for this humanitarian effort.
