Description
Netherlands Scott #415 was issued in 1963 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the International Postal Union, founded in 1863 as the Internationaal Postaal Overleg. This issue celebrates a century of international postal cooperation, standardization, and global communication.
The stamp features a striking modernist design composed of a bold white ring enclosing the anniversary text “100 jaar Internationaal Postaal Overleg 1863–1963.” The circular motif symbolizes unity, continuity, and the worldwide network of postal services. The two-tone blue and green color fields create a clean, contemporary aesthetic that is emblematic of early 1960s Dutch graphic design.
Printed in a 30-cent denomination, the stamp was intended for standard postal use while also serving as a commemorative statement on international collaboration. Its minimalist layout and strong color contrast make it a standout example of mid-century European design applied to philately.
This example is offered unused with original gum and a hinge mark. Hinged copies remain collectible and accessible options for collectors of Netherlands commemoratives, postal history themes, and International Postal Union-related issues.
