Algeria 1963 National Solidarity Fund Surcharge Set

Algeria · 1963 · 25c+5c, 45c+5c

This two-stamp set was issued to support the National Solidarity Fund. The designs feature symbolic imagery: one stamp shows two hands clasped in solidarity, while the other depicts a hand holding a crescent and star, the national symbol of Algeria. Both stamps include a surcharge, with the additional funds designated for charitable purposes.

Issued just one year after Algeria gained independence from France in 1962, this set reflects the new nation's efforts to build social programs and foster a sense of national unity and mutual support.
