The Artcraft cachet features a black-and-white photomontage of diverse human faces from around the world, alongside the UN/WFUNA emblem, commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the World Federation of United Nations Associations. The stamp block of four shows a colorful globe design with multicolored rectangular segments radiating outward like a sunburst, inscribed 'Federation Mondiale des Associations pour les Nations Unies / Nations Unies' in gold and green, each stamp valued at 15 cents. The circular postmark reads 'United Nations, New York, Jan. 31, 1966' with a hand-drawn sketch of the UN Secretariat building. A printed 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' rubber stamp cancellation is applied diagonally across the block of four stamps, and the selvage shows 'FDOS' with the UN emblem and '1966'.

The stamps display a colorful globe with multicolored rectangular segments radiating outward in a sunburst pattern.
