Description
Netherlands Scott B260 is a 1960 semipostal charity stamp issued as part of the “Voor het Kind” (For the Child) series, created to raise funds for child welfare and social assistance programs in the Netherlands. As a semipostal issue, the stamp includes a mandatory surtax, placing it in the Scott B category.
The design pairs a profile portrait of a young child with a symbolic image of an apple, representing nourishment, health, and growth. Rendered in a clean, modern graphic style typical of mid-20th-century Dutch design, the stamp balances warmth and simplicity while reinforcing the humanitarian purpose of the issue.
The denomination reads 5 cent + 3 cent, with the surtax directed to charitable organizations supporting children’s well-being. These stamps were valid for postal use for a limited period following issuance.
Offered here in mint never hinged (MNH) condition, with full original gum, fresh color, sharp detail, and intact perforations.
