Cambodia – Scott # 240-42

Description

Cambodia Scott #240–242 – MNH (Set of 3)

1970 International Education Year
Condition: Mint Never Hinged (MNH)

A complete set of three commemoratives issued by Cambodia in 1970 to mark the International Year of Education. Each stamp features a stylized lightbulb radiating concentric lines across a geometric grid background—an abstract design symbolizing the spread of knowledge and enlightenment. The inscriptions appear in both Khmer script and French, reflecting Cambodia’s postal conventions of the period.

The set includes three bright, clean values:

• 1R blue (Scott #240)

• 3R violet (Scott #241)

• 8R green (Scott #242)

All stamps are Mint Never Hinged, with fresh gum, clear impressions, and strong color saturation. A desirable thematic set for collectors of education, Asian issues, and Cambodia’s early Republic period.
