Issued by the United Nations Postal Administration in 1950, this 2-cent magenta stamp symbolizes the founding ideals of the UN—Peace, Justice, and Security. The design features the United Nations emblem, encircled by a ribbon bearing these words in English and French. The inscriptions appear in multiple languages—Spanish (“Naciones Unidas”), Russian, and Chinese—reflecting the organization’s global inclusivity. This early UN issue represents the optimism of the post-war era and the hope for international cooperation through diplomacy and collective security.
