Issued by the United Kingdom in 1995, this 30-pence commemorative stamp marks the 50th anniversary of the United Nations (1945–1995). The design features two stylized, multicolored hands raised together in a gesture symbolizing unity, cooperation, and global harmony—key ideals of the UN. Set against a warm orange gradient, the image conveys optimism at the close of the UN’s first half-century. The silver Queen’s silhouette and inscriptions add a refined metallic finish typical of modern British commemoratives. A meaningful thematic piece for collections on world organizations, peace, or contemporary British design.
