UN New York stamps year 2006 Flags and Coins MSS MNH

The UN Geneva stamps from the year 2006 for the “Flags and Coins” issue refer to a commemorative stamp series released by the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA).

Here are the key details about this issue:

• Series: It was part of the Coin and Flag Series, which began in 2006. This series was designed to feature the flags and a coin of various UN member countries on stamps.
• Issuing Office: These specific stamps were issued by the United Nations Office at Geneva (UN Geneva), and thus were denominated in Swiss Francs (Fr).
• Format: The issue was typically released as a Miniature Sheet (MSS) or a pane of eight (8) se-tenant stamps. The “MSS” in your query likely stands for Miniature Sheet or Sheetlet.
• Catalogue Number: The Geneva issue for the first “Flags and Coins” set in 2006 is often listed with the catalogue number Scott UNG 464a-h or Michel 553-60.
• Countries Featured: The stamps in the very first set of the Coin and Flag Series (issued simultaneously by New York, Geneva, and Vienna) featured the flags and coins of 24 member countries across all three offices. For the Geneva office in 2006, the pane of eight included flags and coins from countries like Uganda (which is sometimes mentioned individually).
