FAO Freedom from Hunger Campaign - 3 naye paise

This stamp was released in 1963 to support the global anti-famine initiative organized by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), natively inscribed with the campaign slogan "FREEDOM FROM HUNGER". The highly symbolic graphic design illustrates three ripe wheat ears rising in the center, flanked by two upturned, open hands breaking free from heavy iron shackles to represent liberation from poverty and malnutrition. A portrait of Sheikh Saqr bin Sultan Al Qasimi anchors the upper-right corner. This particular copy features a black, multi-pointed star overprint applied over the denominations, reflecting a subsequent local fiscal adjustment or postal re-validation within the administrative system of the emirate.
