Issued in Turkey (Türkiye) in 1955, this semi-postal charity stamp supported the Turkish Child Protection Agency (Türkiye Çocuk Esirgeme Kurumu). The touching illustration of two children sharing a kiss symbolizes compassion, care, and humanitarian support for child welfare initiatives. Labeled “Şefkat Pulları” (Compassion Stamps), these issues were sold with a surcharge benefiting social aid programs. The warm monochrome design with the Turkish star-and-crescent emblem gives the stamp strong thematic appeal. A meaningful collectible for charity, Red Cross-type, and social welfare topical collections, as well as classic mid-20th-century Turkey philately.
