Die Zuschlagmarke is a type of stamp that has two face values: one for the postage and another for a special cause, eg. 55+25
These sorts of stamps often appear before Christmas and include a small donation to a charity. In the above example 55 cents would be the postage for a letter and 25 cents would be the donation.
The donation is not allowed to be higher than half the value of the postage itself, although this has not always been the case and stamps used to be produced with values such as 12+38.
