Issued in 1969, this Italian commemorative set marks the 50th anniversary of the International Labour Organization (1919–1969). Both stamps feature a minimalist design with the ILO emblem — a stylized hand grasping a gear — symbolizing the dignity of labor and international cooperation. The inscriptions “Organizzazione Internazionale del Lavoro 1919–1969” and “Poste Italiane” appear boldly across the design. Printed by the State Printing Works in Rome (I.P.S.), these stamps reflect Italy’s tribute to a half-century of global efforts toward workers’ rights and fair labor standards.
