Dear Austin:
Once again, I appreciate your help. With your reply (and I also thank Nick, Friedrich and Hind), I was able to find the relevant solution to me:
foreach val in "AUS" "FRA" "GBR" {
label define post_ifrs2 0 "Pre IFRS" 1 "Post IFRS"
label values post_ifrs post_ifrs2
count if ib_scaled_w >-.1 & ib_scaled_w<.1 & country=="`val'" & sample_sum==1 & post_ifrs==0
local n0 = r(N)
count if ib_scaled_w >-.1 & ib_scaled_w<.1 & country=="`val'" & sample_sum==1 & post_ifrs==1
local n1 = r(N)
la def `:val label post_ifrs' 0 `"`:label (post_ifrs) 0': `n0' obs."', modify
la def `:val label post_ifrs' 1 `"`:label (post_ifrs) 1': `n1' obs."', modify
histogram ib_scaled_w if ib_scaled_w >-.1 & ib_scaled_w<.1 & country=="`val'" & sample_sum==1, bin(20) by(post_ifrs) title("`val'") saving (hist_`val', replace)
label drop post_ifrs2
}
I also like Friedrich' solution of adding a note.
Best regards
Herve

I'm not sure what you're looking for--do you mean display the count of
obs on the relevant part of the graph? It would help if you gave an
example using the auto data, like so:
sysuse auto, clear
histogram mpg if mpg>25 & mpg<40, by(for) bin(20) name(wo, replace)
count if mpg>25 & mpg<40 & for==0
local n0=r(N)
count if mpg>25 & mpg<40 & for==1
local n1=r(N)
la def `:val label for' 0 `"`:label (for) 0': `n0' obs."', modify
la def `:val label for' 1 `"`:label (for) 1': `n1' obs."', modify
histogram mpg if mpg>25 & mpg<40, by(for, title(With #Obs.)) bin(20)
