Centenary of the International Red Cross (1863–1963) - 100 fils

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in February 1863 by Henry Dunant and Gustave Moynier following the humanitarian devastation observed at the Battle of Solferino in 1859. The initiative led directly to the establishment of the First Geneva Convention in 1864, defining international standards for the neutral and impartial treatment of wounded soldiers, medical personnel, and non-combatants during armed conflicts. Over the subsequent century, the movement evolved into a global network dedicated to emergency medical assistance, civilian protection, and disaster relief under the universal principles of humanity, neutrality, and independence.

In 1963, postal authorities and governments worldwide joined in commemorating the Centenary of the International Red Cross Movement (الذكرى المئوية لتأسيس الصليب الأحمر الدولي). The issue marks one hundred years of organized international humanitarian law and field medicine, highlighting Jordan's alignment with global humanitarian conventions and international relief cooperation. The design presents the iconic Red Cross emblem alongside the commemorative dates 1863–1963, honoring a century of neutral humanitarian service across zones of conflict and natural crises.
