On October 12, 1982, the USPS issued a stamp honoring the Spanish Explorer, Ponce de Leon. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the full-color stamp cancelled from the city of issue (San Juan, Puerto Rico) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The full-color cachet (artwork on the envelope produced by a private company, not the post office) features a portrait of de Leon, who gave Florida its name, meaning 'full of flowers.' The company that produced this cover has also written a brief commentary about this bold adventurer, which we've included.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
