Description: This 10-cent decimal postage stamp was issued by New Zealand to mark the United Nations International Year for Human Rights. The central graphic design depicts a bold orange and yellow flame framed by a symbolic green laurel wreath, representing the enduring light of freedom, peace, and global equality. This particular issue was part of a coordinated two-stamp commemorative set; the accompanying 3-cent value celebrated the 75th anniversary of Universal Suffrage in New Zealand, which historically marked the nation becoming the first self-governing country to grant women the right to vote in 1893. The crisp white lettering cleanly details the event title along the bottom border, contrasting with the rich green background.
