The stamp's design illustrates the conflict between the barons and the crown. After the initial printing of 112,000,000 stamps became available on June 16, 1965. The stamps appear here on a series of illustrated envelopes created by the U.S. Postal Service that depict scenes and iconographic images related to Magna Carta. |
