Issued by New Zealand in 1973, this semi-postal Health Stamp features a youthful portrait of Prince Edward, the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II. The stamp carries a denomination of 4 cents postage plus 1 cent health surcharge, supporting children’s health camps — a long-standing New Zealand philatelic tradition. Its clean portrait design and soft tonal background reflect the classic Health Stamp style of the early 1970s. Royal-themed Health issues remain popular among Commonwealth and thematic collectors alike. A notable piece linking royal philately with social welfare fundraising.
