Laos – Scott #s 115-17

Description

Laos (Kingdom) — United Nations 20th Anniversary Issues 5k–40k (Scott 115–117)

This clean and symbolically strong commemorative trio from the Kingdom of Laos, cataloged as Scott 115–117, was issued to mark the 20th anniversary of the United Nations on 24 October. The set reflects Laos’s participation in international cooperation and postwar global institutions during the mid-1960s.

Scott 115 (5 kip, green) features the United Nations emblem superimposed over a map of Laos, symbolizing the country’s place within the global community.

Scott 116 (25 kip, rose) presents the same design in a warmer color palette, emphasizing solidarity, peace, and international engagement.

Scott 117 (40 kip, blue) completes the set with cooler tones and strong contrast, reinforcing the universality and authority of the UN symbol.

Each stamp bears inscriptions in Lao script and French, including the anniversary text and date. All three stamps are offered in mint never hinged (MNH) condition, retaining full original gum, sharp perforations, and fresh, unfaded color throughout.

A concise and visually unified set appealing to collectors of United Nations themes, international organizations, and Southeast Asian philately.
