Description
Turkey Scott #1497–1498 (1960) — “15th Anniversary of the United Nations” — Mint Never Hinged (MNH)
Issued in 1960 by the Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Postaları (Republic of Turkey Post), this two-stamp commemorative set celebrates the 15th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations (1945–1960).
Designed and printed by Courvoisier S.A. of Switzerland, the set reflects midcentury optimism and international solidarity through elegant modernist design:
-
90 kuruş — Depicts a hand holding an olive branch before the United Nations emblem, symbolizing peace and cooperation among nations.
-
105 kuruş — Features a large numeral “15” incorporating the UN globe logo, marking fifteen years of global dialogue and humanitarian effort.
Both stamps feature clean typography and contemporary color palettes in turquoise, blue, and maroon—hallmarks of 1960s international design. These issues commemorate Turkey’s role as an active member of the UN and a proponent of peace and development.
Condition: Mint, Never Hinged (MNH).
