A beautifully preserved First Day Cover issued by the Federal Republic of Germany in 1963 to honor the centenary of the Red Cross (1863–1963).
The envelope features a powerful illustration of a rescuer carrying an injured figure, paired with the iconic red cross emblem, symbolizing a century of humanitarian service.
Affixed is the 20 Pf semi-postal Red Cross centenary stamp, cancelled with a clear Bonn 1 – Deutsches Rotes Kreuz first-day postmark dated 24 May 1963.
An excellent historical item celebrating international humanitarian work, ideal for thematic collections in Red Cross, medical history, and German charity issues.
The cover remains clean with light natural aging on the reverse, typical for pieces of this era.
