Issued by the United Kingdom in 1965 to mark 20 years of the United Nations (1945–1965), this striking two-stamp set celebrates international cooperation and peace. The 1s 6d value features clasped hands within the UN olive wreath, symbolising unity and reconciliation, while the 3d value displays the UN world-map emblem, emphasising global responsibility. Both designs incorporate the contemporary Queen Elizabeth II portrait, anchoring the issue firmly in mid-20th-century British commemorative style. A classic topical set appealing to UN, peace, and Cold War-era history collectors, especially desirable in clean MNH condition.
