Other charity stamps included the Thessaloniki International Fair Fund issue, a 20 lepta stamp from 1934 which depicted St. Demetrius ; its use was obligatory on domestic mail from Thessaloniki.

It was re-issued with a 1 drachma surcharge in 1942.

St. Demetrius was also depicted on a 50 drachmae charity stamp released in 1948 ; proceeds from its sale went toward the restoration of historic sites and churches destroyed during World War II.
