Description
Issued in 1975, United Nations Scott #262 is a souvenir sheet commemorating the 30th anniversary of the United Nations, marking three decades of international cooperation since the organization’s founding in 1945. The issue reflects the UN’s enduring mission to promote peace, development, and global unity in the postwar world.
The sheet contains two stamps, denominated 10 cents and 26 cents, each featuring the UN flag and a stylized group of figures beneath the slogan “The Hope of Mankind.” The design uses bold, modern graphics to convey unity, cooperation, and the shared future of humanity. Multilingual inscriptions in several UN languages underscore the organization’s global reach.
A decorative laurel wreath border frames the stamps, while the gold UN emblem at the bottom center adds a formal, commemorative finish. The clean, symmetrical layout gives the sheet a ceremonial presentation, making it especially appealing to collectors.
This example is offered mint never hinged (MNH), with full original gum, sharp margins, and fresh color. A key anniversary issue for collectors of United Nations philately and international organizations.
