1 in stock
This Swiss commemorative stamp, denominated 30 centimes, marks the historic visit of Pope Paul VI to Geneva on 10 June 1969. It is an overprint on an earlier issue of the International Labour Office (Bureau International du Travail) series, originally depicting the ILO emblem with a globe and gear symbolizing global industry and cooperation.
The overprint reads “Visite du Pape Paul VI / Genève / 10 juin 1969” in black, applied to honor the Pope’s address to the International Labour Organization—an unprecedented papal appearance before a UN agency. This visit highlighted the Church’s engagement with global social and labor issues during the late 1960s.
A notable variety for specialists, this issue combines religious, diplomatic, and institutional philately, making it a key item for collections focusing on Papal visits, UN organizations, and Swiss overprints.
