Post Stamp Identification Red Cross?

Hi, do you guys know what is this post stamp? Any info will be appreciated.

Thank you

The writing appears Thai.

I'd guess it's a fund-raising stamp for a charity, instead of a postage stamp. Non-British postage stamps, by UPU regulation, will have the country name prominently displayed somewhere (though sometimes that rule is ignored).

The Roman cross makes me think Armenia or Georgia rather than Thailand.

It is not Thai,
perhaps Burma or Laos?

Bingo! That's Georgian Mkhedruli script.

I can't read a word of it, but I think codehappy's guess that it's a charity fundraising stamp is probably right on target.

Wow! well done Erilatz. Would never have picked that.
Any idea of the Value tablet? 50...Coupon, Tetri or Lari ?

Hmm. It's really difficult to make out any letters in this faint and blurry mess (especially since I can't actually read Georgian), but I think the letters below the 50 might spell out atasi, which means "thousand". But even if that turns out to be the correct answer, it still doesn't tell us 50,000 what.

Thanks Don.
Value tablets udecipherable for me, does not look like Rubles, Kopeks, Coupons, Tetri, or Lari.

Georgian, one of only 14 original alphabets ever created.

The top is indeed Georgia

The color should be originally green and its charity stamp ?
what do you think ?

thank you for digging in it guys

I do not think is Georgia there are diferences in the characters 3rd , 5th and the cross looks more like red cross than Roman ?

My appology about the scan but the stamp is in the condition as you see

I agree that the translation of "Georgia" is not identical to the inscription on the stamp. The first two letters and the last two letters appear to match up, but the letters in between don't.

Note that the second and fourth letters in the translation are identical (the two instances of "a" in Sakartvelo). On the stamp, we see that same letter in the second position, but not in the fourth. We also see it as the third letter from the end on the stamp, but it doesn't appear in that position in the translation.

thank you erilaz . Are the "fans" in corners related to some country ?

Not to my knowledge.

Even though the inscription at the top doesn't appear to say "Georgia", I'm still convinced that this stamp originated there. Or at least in some Georgian-speaking enclave somewhere.

Interesting
