Issued in 1961, this Afghanistan commemorative set highlights the modern headquarters of the United Nations in New York, symbolizing Afghanistan’s engagement with international diplomacy and global cooperation. The four denominations (1, 2, 3, and 4 Pouls) feature the iconic UN Secretariat building with the UN emblem prominently displayed. The vertical tricolor margins echo national colors, enhancing the visual identity of the issue. Collectors value the set for its architectural theme, Cold War–era international context, and classic mid-20th-century engraved design style. Complete mint or used sets remain desirable for worldwide thematic collections on the United Nations or global institutions.
