These elegant semi-postal stamps from Guinea Española were issued to support charitable causes under Spanish colonial administration.
The 1952 “Pro Indígenas” issue (5 + 5 cts, sepia tone) features a delicate tropical flower, symbolizing native life and culture, with funds aiding indigenous welfare.
The 1959 “Pro Infancia” issue (10 + 5 cts, deep red) depicts foxglove blossoms, with proceeds benefiting children’s welfare.
Both were printed by F.N.M.T. Madrid (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre) and showcase refined botanical engraving typical of mid-century Spanish colonial design.
Highly collectible for their dual charitable themes and botanical artistry, they stand as vivid examples of Spanish Guinea’s late-colonial philately.
