Issued in 1964, this 5-dinar commemorative stamp from Yugoslavia honors the 20th anniversary of Red Cross Week (1944–1964). The design reflects both humanitarian aid and the country’s socialist identity. At the top, a globe-shaped parachute carries the red star of Yugoslavia, symbolizing state-supported relief efforts. Suspended below is a Red Cross-marked supply box, descending toward a stylized globe, representing the international reach of medical and humanitarian support.

The text “Nedelja Crvenog Krsta” translates to “Red Cross Week”, highlighting the celebration of the movement’s contributions during wartime and peace. The vertical inscription “Jugoslavija” aligns with the modernist design typical of mid-20th century Eastern European stamps. With its sharp geometric forms, limited color palette, and strong symbolism, this issue stands out as a perfect blend of political and humanitarian themes.

Collectors value it not only for its historical context—issued during the Cold War when Yugoslavia maintained a unique non-aligned position—but also for its aesthetic appeal and thematic relevance to Red Cross, parachuting, and global humanitarian aid.
