In September 2025, the Universal Postal Union (UPU), together with 11 postal organizations, issued the embroidered Dove of Peace stamp and a matching collectible to mark the International Day of Peace and highlight the universal nature of this message.
Alongside the UPU, the participating postal operators are: the United Nations Postal Administration, Armenia, Austria, Barbados, Cyprus, Denmark – Faroe Islands, Denmark – Greenland, Finland – Åland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Such a collective initiative is a rare occasion, emphasizing its strong symbolic significance.
The stamp features a white embroidered dove carrying an olive branch outlined in blue – a universal emblem of peace. With its wings spread wide, the dove conveys a message that transcends borders, religions, and ideologies, serving as a postal ambassador of unity.
Produced by the Austrian company Hämmerle & Vogel, this limited-edition textile stamp combines the delicacy of embroidery with artistic design, uniting craftsmanship, functionality, and a universal message.
The Universal Postal Union is proud to present the Dove of Peace, an exclusive collectible now available for order. Crafted with care, this emblem embodies our shared values of peace and cooperation among nations.
