2007 UN Geneva – UNESCO World Heritage: South America Stamp Set
First Day of Issue
- First day of issue: 9 August 2007, when both the stamps and accompanying prestige booklets were released.
Denominations & Catalogue Data
Based on LastDodo listings for UN Geneva:
| Face Value | Catalogue Numbers |
|---|---|
| 0.20 CHF | Michel VNG 577 (order #1), VNG 578 (#2), Michel 579 (#3) |
| 0.50 CHF | Michel 581 (order #5), VNG 582 (order #6) |
This suggests at least five distinct stamps in the set (three at 0.20 CHF and two at 0.50 CHF), plus possibly a prestige booklet that includes them all.
Series Context
- This issue continues the UNPA’s long-running World Heritage series, which highlights UNESCO-listed sites around the world annually. The South America release follows prior issues like Greece (2004) and Egypt (2005).
Design and Sites Featured
- Unfortunately, I couldn’t find explicit sources naming which exact World Heritage sites are depicted on these Geneva stamps.
- For comparison, the UNPA New York stamps in the same year featured Rapa Nui (Easter Island, Chile) and the well-known Moai statues. However, the Geneva issue likely showcases different South American sites, with imagery tailored to Swiss-franc denominations.
