Estonia · 1921 · 2 Marka, 5 Marka

This two-stamp set from Estonia depicts a nurse tending to a child, with the iconic Red Cross symbol prominently displayed. Issued imperforate, these semi-postal stamps were sold at a surcharge to raise funds for the Estonian Red Cross.

Issued shortly after Estonia gained independence, these stamps highlight the crucial role of humanitarian aid and the Red Cross in the post-World War I era, supporting a newly formed nation's social welfare efforts.
