15.12. 1920 Červený kříž
Poštovní známky této emise byly vydány pro účely dobročinné ve prospěch Československého Červeného kříže. Přetisk dvojího druhu navrhl Alois Mudruňka. Byly vydány 3 hodnoty s červeným knihtiskovým přítiskem. Hradčany 40h a 60h ve změněných barvách s přítiskem A hodnoty 20h a poštovní známky TGM 125h s přítiskem B hodnoty 25h. Autor navrhl ještě přetisk druhu C a D, které nebyly přijaty. Vzniklo velké množství zkusmých tisků všech druhů v červené i černé barvě v různých polohách. Původně měly být přetištěny poštovní známky emise Osvobozená republika 40 a 60h. Přetisková forma 10x10 přítisků pro oba druhy.
Poštovní známky emise červený kříž platily pouze ve vnitřním poštovním styku a byly pro krátkou dobu platnosti a neobvyklý příplatek málo používány. Navíc nebyly oproti původnímu záměru distribuovány na všechny poštovní úřady a většina známek byla ponechána v Praze.
Platnost poštovních známek emise Červený kříž byla do 14.1. 1921
