Issued by Israel in 1954, this striking commemorative features a bold serpent encircling a globe — a classic symbol of medicine and international health cooperation. The design marks World Health Day and reflects Israel’s early participation in global public-health initiatives. Printed in a rich brown monochrome palette, the minimalist graphic style is typical of 1950s Israeli modernist issues. The bilingual inscriptions (Hebrew/Arabic) add cultural depth and postal authenticity. A desirable thematic piece for medical, Red Cross, WHO, and symbolic-design collectors.
