Estonia, 1928 Charity Issue - Wounded Soldier

Estonia · 1928 · 10 marka + 10 marka

This semi-postal stamp from Estonia features a poignant design of a wounded soldier being tended to by a nurse. The stamp was issued to raise funds for charity, with the surtax (the second '10 marka' value) designated for that purpose. The red cross symbol prominently displayed signifies the humanitarian aid aspect of the issue.

Issued a decade after Estonia's independence, this stamp reflects the nation's ongoing efforts to rebuild and care for its veterans following the Estonian War of Independence (1918-1920).
