Issued by Mexico in 1962, this 40 centavos commemorative stamp honors the Inter-American Economic and Social Council (Consejo Interamericano Económico y Social) of the Organization of American States (OAS). The design prominently features a stylized globe centered on the Americas, symbolizing cooperation and development across the Western Hemisphere. The inscription surrounding the globe highlights the council’s mission of economic and social collaboration among member nations. Printed in a subtle green tone with brown typography, the stamp reflects the diplomatic and cooperative spirit of the early 1960s. It remains a notable thematic collectible for philatelists interested in international organizations and Pan-American relations.
