Issued by Chile in 1979, this 12-Peso commemorative stamp celebrates the International Year of the Child, a global initiative supported by UNICEF to promote children’s welfare and rights. The design features children holding hands in a circle, rendered in a charming child-art style symbolizing unity, friendship, and global harmony. The UNICEF emblem reinforces the humanitarian theme of protection and development of children worldwide. Printed by Casa de Moneda de Chile, this issue represents an important social and cultural thematic collectible of the late 20th century. Highly desirable for UNICEF, childhood, and social awareness thematic collections.
