Description
Tunisia Scott #387 (1961) — “United Nations Arms Emblem” — Mint Never Hinged (MNH)
Issued in 1961 by the République Tunisienne, this striking 40-millime commemorative stamp celebrates the ideals and mission of the United Nations, reflecting Tunisia’s growing participation in global diplomacy during its early years of independence.
The design features interlinked hands encircling the blue UN emblem, symbolizing international unity, peace, and cooperation among nations. The powerful composition—rendered in deep crimson and blue tones—captures both midcentury modernist aesthetics and the optimism of the postcolonial world order.
Printed with inscriptions in Arabic and French, the issue underscores Tunisia’s commitment to multilingual internationalism and solidarity in a rapidly changing geopolitical era.
An outstanding example of early Tunisian commemoratives, this stamp is perfect for collectors of UN issues, African independence period designs, and themes of peace, diplomacy, and global cooperation.
