Issued by the Republic of Togo in 1965 to commemorate the Année de Coopération Internationale (International Cooperation Year) declared by the United Nations. The two designs, created by artist Shamir, depict powerful symbols of global unity — one featuring hands lifting a globe and the other showing a handshake across continents. Both are adorned with a golden laurel branch, representing peace and collaboration among nations. These stamps exemplify Togo’s early post-independence participation in international humanitarian ideals.
