United Nations: Vienna International Centre

The Vienna International Centre (VIC) is the campus and building complex hosting the United Nations Office at Vienna. It is colloquially also known as UNO City. The VIC, designed by Austrian architect Johann Staber, was built between 1973 and 1979 just north of the river Danube. The initial idea of setting up an international organization in Vienna came from the Chancellor of Austria Dr. Bruno Kreisky. Six Y-shaped office towers surround a cylindrical conference building for a total floor area of 230,000 square meters. The highest tower stands 127 meters tall, enclosing 28 floors.

This awesome Smurf stamp is from set International Day of Happiness, issued on 20.3.2017.

UN Vienna cover from Numiphil 2017

With this cover i finally completed UN post offices! The United Nations Postal Administration is the postal agency of the United Nations. It issues postage stamps and postal stationery, denominated in United States dollars for the United Nations offices in New York, in Swiss francs for the offices in Geneva and in euros for the offices in Vienna. My friend Wolfgang visited exhibition Numiphil 2017 in Vienna. He sent me cover from UN Vienna with two really nice special cancellations dedicated to Numiphil 2017. Stamp on cover is fr om set UNESCO World Heritage - Along the Silk Roads, issued on 03.08.2017.

Inside was this surprise postcard from Mali. It's prestamped and cancelled long time ago, but i really like it.

This nice butterfly stamp is from year 1997, but i can't find any detailed information in any catalog.



Thank you very much Wolfgang!
