United Nations, Geneva – Scott # 52

Description

Issued in 1975, United Nations Scott #52 is a souvenir sheet marking the 30th anniversary of the United Nations, commemorating three decades of international cooperation since the organization’s founding in 1945. The issue reflects the UN’s mission to promote peace, development, and global unity in the post–World War II era.

The sheet contains two stamps, denominated 0.60 francs and 0.90 francs, each featuring the UN flag and a stylized group of figures representing humanity united under the theme “L’Espoir de l’Humanité” (Hope of Humanity). The design is multilingual, with inscriptions in French, English, Spanish, Russian, and other UN languages, underscoring the organization’s global reach.

A decorative laurel wreath border surrounds the stamps, framing the sheet in a formal, commemorative style. The gold UN emblem at the bottom center reinforces the official character of the issue, while the bold, modern graphic design reflects the optimism of the mid-1970s.

This example is offered mint never hinged (MNH), with full original gum, crisp edges, and bright color. A key commemorative for collectors of United Nations philately, international organizations, and Cold War-era global history.
