This stamp commemorates the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims. It features an image titled "Landing of the Pilgrims," framed by the inscriptions "Pilgrim Tercentenary" at the top and the years "1620" and "1920" on either side. Beneath the subject appears its title, and at the bottom the denomination is shown within circles in the lower corners, separated by a horizontal panel containing the word "Cents." The border includes a row of hawthorn blossoms on the left and trailing arbutus on the right, symbolizing the British and American Mayflowers respectively.
A special series of postage stamps was issued in commemoration of the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims in December of 1620.

The Pilgrim Tercentenary stamps were issued in sheets of 70 and were first placed on sale Dec. 18, 1920, at Provincetown and Plymouth, Mass.
