This set of six stamps features a central design of children's faces encircled by a laurel wreath, symbolizing global unity and peace. Three stamps are regular issues, while the other three are semi-postal issues, identifiable by the Red Cross emblem and a surcharge for charitable causes.
Issued in 1959, these stamps reflect a post-World War II global emphasis on peace, the welfare of children, and international cooperation, often promoted by organizations like the United Nations and the Red Cross. Cambodia, as a newly independent nation, participated in these international humanitarian efforts.
