A striking 1961 issue commemorating the establishment of the Nieuw-Guinea Raad (New Guinea Council), symbolizing steps toward local self-governance.
The modernist council building is rendered in clean architectural lines, printed in a classic single-color green tone typical of early-1960s Dutch colonial design.
The 25-cent denomination served everyday postal needs, making this both historically important and widely collected.
Represents the final years of Dutch administration before transfer of the territory, adding strong geopolitical interest.
Ideal for collectors of colonial history, governance themes, and Netherlands overseas territories.
Attractive in mint or fine used condition with sharp perforations and fresh color.
