This 60 dirham postage stamp from Sharjah & Dependencies celebrates the 20th anniversary of UNICEF, established in 1946. The design features the emblem of UNICEF — a mother lifting her child — encircled by laurel branches symbolizing peace and care. To the right appears the emblem of the United Nations, printed in white against a light blue background. The bilingual inscription in English and Arabic reflects Sharjah’s cultural heritage and participation in international humanitarian causes.

Issued during the 1960s, this commemorative highlights Sharjah’s engagement with global organizations despite its small size and emerging postal system. It is part of the emirate’s colorful era of thematic issues, often produced for collectors and international circulation.
