Issued by Germany (Berlin) in 1968, this semi-postal stamp belongs to the annual “Für die Jugend” (For the Youth) charity series, where the additional surcharge supported youth welfare programs. The design features a detailed illustration of a beaver, symbolizing wildlife awareness and environmental themes popular in late-1960s European philately. Denominated 50 + 25 Pfennig, the stamp combines postal value with a charitable contribution. Printed in vivid blue tones with naturalistic engraving, it represents the classic West Berlin semi-postal style of the period. Well-centered examples with intact perforations are especially favored by thematic wildlife and charity-issue collectors.
