Issued by Togo in 1959, this complete commemorative set marks United Nations Day and celebrates global unity and peace.
The central design, often referred to by collectors as the “Hands of Humanity”, symbolically depicts helping hands reaching across the globe, with the UN emblem prominently featured below.
Printed in striking bi-colour combinations, each denomination carries a distinct frame colour, making the full set visually cohesive and highly displayable.
These stamps reflect Togo’s early participation in international diplomacy following independence and are a notable African contribution to UN-themed philately.
A desirable mid-20th-century topical set for collectors of United Nations, peace, and international cooperation themes.
