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.
