Yugoslavia Solidarity Week Surcharge Stamps

Yugoslavia · 1957 · Various + Surcharge

This set of six stamps features various scenes and symbols related to social welfare and solidarity, including a mother and child, a helping hand, and industrial workers. The stamps were originally issued for regular postage but were overprinted with a red cross symbol and a surcharge value. The surcharge was collected to fund social and humanitarian causes during the annual 'Solidarity Week'.

Issued by the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, these semi-postal stamps reflect the post-war socialist government's emphasis on collective social responsibility and welfare programs.
