Issued by the Soviet Union in 1988, this striking semi-postal stamp features a beautifully detailed illustration of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), showcasing its sharp features and vivid expression. With a face value of 20 kopeks plus a 10 kopek surcharge, it supported public causes while celebrating the wildlife of the USSR. The artwork captures the fox’s cunning nature and natural beauty, making it a favorite among collectors of fauna-themed philately. A fine piece from the late Soviet era, it stands out for its artistic realism and conservation message.
