Netherlands Child Welfare Stamp, 1960 Series

Netherlands · 1960 · 12+8c

The stamp features a stylized portrait of a young child's face, looking slightly upwards, against a plain background. The country name 'NEDERLAND' is at the top, and the denomination '12+8c' is in the lower left.

This stamp is part of the annual 'kinderpostzegels' (children's welfare stamps) series issued by the Netherlands, which includes a surcharge to benefit child welfare organizations. The 1960 series continued this long-standing tradition.
