This United Nations stamp from Geneva depicts the headquarters of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in Bern, Switzerland. The modernist building is shown in clean architectural lines, symbolizing international postal cooperation. Above it appears the UPU emblem — a globe encircled by figures representing worldwide unity through the mail.

Issued by the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA), the stamp honors the UPU’s role as one of the world’s oldest international organizations, founded in 1874 to standardize and facilitate global postal exchanges. The denomination of 0.75 Swiss francs (F.S.) reflects its use from the UN’s Geneva office, where Swiss currency is applied.
