The cachet features a grayscale illustration of the United Nations emblem — a world globe surrounded by olive branches — printed on the left side of the envelope. Below the image, bold text reads 'United Nations 3¢ Definitive Issue, Series of 1976.' The stamps form a block of four plus an additional single stamp, each depicting a colorful ribbon-like design of interlocking multicolored banners (blue, green, yellow, pink, orange) with the UN emblem and text 'TO UNITE OUR STRENGTH.' The circular postmark reads 'UNITED NATIONS, JAN 9, 1976, NEW YORK' and appears to be a standard machine cancellation.
Mistral
The cachet artwork features the United Nations emblem in grayscale, surrounded by olive branches, symbolizing peace and unity. The stamp block consists of five 3¢ stamps with interlocking multicolored banners (blue, green, yellow, pink, orange) and the UN emblem, with the motto 'TO UNITE OUR STRENGTH.' The postmark is a circular machine cancellation dated January 9, 1976, from the United Nations office in New York. The envelope is in good condition with clear, legible text and artwork.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
