Suriname 1963 Children's Welfare Stamps
Suriname · 1963 · 10c+5c, 15c+5c, 20c+10c, 25c+10c
A block of four stamps, each depicting a child engaged in a different activity, such as playing with a boat or a ball. The stamps feature a surcharge for children's welfare.
These stamps are part of the 'Kinderpostzegels' tradition, where a surcharge on the face value supports children's charities, a practice common in the Netherlands and its former colonies.
