Netherlands 1981 Children's Stamps: Animal Drawings

Netherlands · 1981 · Multiple denominations (e.g., 45c+20c, 55c+25c)

A set of four semi-postal stamps issued in 1981, featuring charming children's drawings of various animals. These stamps were sold with a surcharge to benefit children's charities in the Netherlands.

The annual Dutch Children's Stamps (Kinderpostzegels) program, initiated in 1906, raises funds for organizations dedicated to the welfare of children. The 1981 issue continued this long-standing tradition, with sales often inaugurated by public figures.
