Issued by the British Virgin Islands in 1968, this commemorative overprint marks the International Year for Human Rights, proclaimed by the United Nations to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The stamp is based on the Queen Elizabeth II definitive design and features a bold overprint with island map detailing and commemorative inscription. Denominated in 10¢ U.S. Currency, it reflects the territory’s monetary usage during the period. Overprinted colonial definitives are highly collectible due to their limited postal necessity and historical relevance. A desirable thematic addition for Human Rights, UN, and Caribbean postal history collections.
