Stamp

This stamp comes from Bulgaria, issued in 1962 during the time of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. It was created as part of a worldwide campaign led by the World Health Organization to fight and eventually eradicate malaria, which was one of the most dangerous diseases in the world at that time.

The design is powerful for such a small piece of paper—it shows a globe with a medical emblem and an arrow pointing toward a mosquito, symbolizing the global fight to stop the spread of the disease. The words on the stamp translate to “The World United Against Malaria.”

Though it only carried a postal value of 5 stotinki, its meaning carried far greater weight, reminding people everywhere of the importance of coming together for public health. Today, it stands as both a collector’s item and a piece of history that represents a global struggle and hope for a healthier world.
