We found this attached to the bottom of some old furniture last night...!

Worth anything?

Sorry about the massive pic, could figure out how to resize on my phone.

It's a stamp from 1999, I imagine it's worth 1c.

Ah I didn't spot the 1999, I only saw the 1974. Ha.

With a picture that big you can't miss the 1999.

Refugee Tax stamp:

The Refugee Fund Tax Stamp. Every letter, postcard and parcel has to have an additional refugee postage stamp on it (cost as at January 2011 is 2 cents) in order for it to enter the sending process. The proceeds of the refugee stamps go to the refugee fund, i.e. for the Greek Cypriots who became refugees from their homes in the north of Cyprus after the invasion in 1974. See pictures above of the first refugee stamp, and the current issue wich was released in 2009.
