The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) is the postal agency of the United
Nations. It issues postage stamps and postal stationery, denominated in United
States dollars for the United Nations offices in New York, in Swiss francs for
the offices in Geneva and in euros (formerly schillings) for the offices in
Vienna. Postage rates charged are identical to those of the host nation.
To commemorate the 60 th Anniversary
of the United Nations Postal Administration, a limited edition first day cover
in silk was issued on 13 October 2011. A picture of the very first United
Nations US$ 0.01 stamp, which was issued on 24 October 1951, along with the US$
0.11 definitive issued on 4 February 2011, were featured on the cover. The 2011
US$ 5.00 definitive stamp will be affixed and cancelled with the first day of
issue cancellation.
Thank you Hemant for
this lovely cover.
