Issued by the United Nations Postal Administration in 1954, this 4-cent stamp from the “Peace” series symbolizes the UN’s founding mission of harmony and cooperation among nations. The design depicts an allegorical female figure representing Peace, gracefully holding a dove — the universal emblem of peace — with the word PAX (Latin for “Peace”) inscribed below. The rich chestnut-red engraving is complemented by inscriptions in both English and French, reflecting the UN’s bilingual ideals. A serene and classical design, it remains a favorite among collectors of international organization issues.
