Description
This is an unused hinged semi-postal stamp from Romania, Scott #B184, issued in 1951 as part of the “Milișăuți / Bucovina” issue, with a surtax intended for charitable or public benefit purposes.
The stamp depicts a historic wooden church in Bucovina, a region renowned for its distinctive religious architecture and deep cultural traditions. Rendered in blue tones with a strong frame design, the image emphasizes the vertical lines and layered roofs typical of Bukovinian church construction, reflecting Romania’s postwar interest in regional heritage and national identity.
Semi-postal issues such as this one were commonly used to support social causes while simultaneously promoting cultural landmarks, making them of interest to collectors of charity stamps, religious architecture, and Eastern European history.
