This 2 Pul stamp from Afghanistan, issued in 1962, belongs to the Afghan Red Crescent (Le Croissant Rouge Afghan) charity series. It features a beautifully detailed illustration of a bunch of green grapes, symbolizing vitality and the agrarian richness of the nation. The red crescent emblem at lower right represents the humanitarian mission of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, equivalent to the Red Cross. The bilingual inscriptions in French and Persian reflect Afghanistan’s international outreach during the early 1960s.
