Issued by Great Britain in 1969, this striking 1-shilling commemorative marks the 50th anniversary of the International Labour Organisation (1919–1969). The bold modernist design features a symbolic hand and wrench motif, representing labour, cooperation, and industry—hallmarks of the ILO’s mission. The silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II appears in white at upper right in the classic Machin style. Printed in rich magenta and deep blue on a soft violet background, this stamp is part of a well-regarded set celebrating global social progress. A desirable thematic item for collectors of labour history, UN agencies, and British commemoratives of the late QEII era.
