This 200 kuruş commemorative stamp from Turkey (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti) was issued in 1974 to mark the centenary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU), founded in 1874 in Bern, Switzerland. The design features a stylized dove of peace emerging with radiant wings, symbolizing global communication and harmony. Below, the classic UPU emblem shows figures encircling the globe, representing the unity of world postal services. Printed by APA Ofset Basımevi, this modern, minimalist design reflects both Turkey’s commitment to international cooperation and the spirit of the UPU’s mission to connect nations through the mail.
