This United States commemorative stamp was issued in 1963 to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Red Cross in 1863. The bold design features the Red Cross flag waving prominently against a radiant background, symbolizing hope and humanitarian service. Below, silhouetted figures emphasize the global reach of the Red Cross in aiding people during conflict and disaster. Issued at 5¢, it covered the standard domestic letter rate of its time, making it widely used and historically significant. A fine addition for collectors of humanitarian themes, U.S. commemoratives, and medical history on stamps.
