UNESCO Commemorative Medals

Since 1966, UNESCO鈥檚 Philatelic and Numismatic Programme has issued two series of commemorative medals.
World Heritage Series
The first series illustrates remarkable monuments and sites of humanity鈥檚 cultural and natural heritage that are threatened with destruction, and UNESCO's efforts at an international level to save them. Some, like the Nubia and Borobudur campaigns, are among UNESCO鈥檚 biggest success stories in the preservation and restoration of monuments. Also included are other heritage sites that UNESCO wishes to highlight.
