This striking overprinted stamp from Burundi honors Dag Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary-General of the United Nations, recognized for his contributions to global peace and cooperation. Originally part of the “Technical Cooperation in Africa” series, the stamp features a stylized African map with honeycomb motifs symbolizing development and collaboration. The bold black overprint “Hommage à Dag Hammarskjöld” transforms the issue into a commemorative tribute. The inclusion of UN symbols reinforces its international significance. A desirable piece for collectors focusing on UN themes, African development, and notable historical figures.
