📆 Year of Issue

• 1993 — part of an ongoing series of Red Cross charity stamps issued by Macedonia in the early 1990s.

🏷️ What These Stamps Are

• These are Red Cross Fund charity stamps, also known as tax stamps or semi‑postal stamps — they were issued to raise funds for the Red Cross through a surcharge over the basic denomination.
• They are not regular definitive postage stamps, but they are postal tax stamps often used on mail during the Red Cross Week or specific fund‑raising periods.
