Issued in 1965 to honor the 100th anniversary of the International Telecommunication Union (1865–1965), this Rwandan commemorative features the pioneering Telstar communications satellite, symbolizing the dawn of modern global connectivity. The dynamic red-blue artwork captures radio waves flashing across space, reflecting the ITU’s mission of international cooperation in telecommunications. A classic mid-1960s space-thematics issue, highly attractive to collectors of satellite history, space exploration, and global communications. Printed by Enschede and designed by J. Van Noten.
