Commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary

The General Assembly,
Noting the suggestion of the Royal Mint of the Government of the United

that programme for the benefit of the Trust Fund for the Fiftieth Anniversary
Celebrations and participating States,
Noting also the positive report of the secretariat of the fiftieth
anniversary of the United Nations on the offer of the Royal Mint,
Noting further the potential of such a programme to provide the Trust
Fund with revenue to support educational and communications activities about
the work of the United Nations,
Agreeing that the issuance of legal-tender coins commemorating the
fiftieth anniversary would be a fitting way for States to honour and provide a
suitable lasting memento of this historic occasion,
