Im not sure what country this is from, but it did come from my grandmother, which means it could be from ANYWHERE! note that the picture is flipped, the 2 should be in the bottom right hand corner.
To follow up, I don't see this in my 2003 Scott's. But with the Red Cross symbol, and what appears to be a picture of a nurse with a baby, it could be a postal tax stamp with the funds going to the Red Cross. Possibly Post WWII. Postal Tax weren't listed in 2003, perhaps someone has a more recent copy that lists these.
It's in Scott 2006 as North Korea #126. It exists as imperforate and rouletted. Your stamp appears to be the latter or some sort of rough perforation. It does exist with or without gum too.
This is Korean and probably from North Korea. I thought first it might be from the imperial era but the spelling for imperial Korea would be #51424;#49440; and not #51312;#49440;.
