This 40 centavos Mexican postage stamp, issued in 1962, commemorates the Consejo Interamericano Económico y Social (Inter-American Economic and Social Council) of the Organization of American States (OEA). The design features a stylized world map projection of the Americas, symbolizing unity and cooperation among member nations. It reflects Mexico’s participation in promoting economic and social development across the Americas. Printed by Talleres de Impresion de Estampillas y Valores de México, this minimalist yet symbolic issue is a classic example of mid-20th-century international-themed Mexican philately.
