Original Icelandic semi-postal charity stamp issued 17 May 1951 to support elder care homes (Elliheimili). The +25 aurar surcharge helped raise funds for improving living conditions for older people in Iceland.
• Denomination: 60 + 25 aurar
• Theme: Elderly couple walking by the shore with sunrise and mountains
• Condition: Mint, never hinged (MNH) with full gum
• Printed in blue using fine photogravure
• Clean perforations and nice detail throughout
The design reflects dignity, mutual support and hope later in life, set against the Icelandic landscape. A thoughtful piece of social history that appeals to Nordic and humanitarian collectors.
I can provide more photos or information if required.
