It is printed in red by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 100.
This stamp was issued to replace the 2-cent National Defense stamp, and as a tribute to the unity with which the liberty-loving nations of the world are marching toward victory over aggressors.
The stamp is 0.75 by 0.85 inch in dimension, arranged vertically. It is printed in red by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 100. The central design, symbolic of Victory, depicts an uplifted palm branch at the apex of a triangular-shaped procession of swords, likewise held upright. In the upper part of the stamp at the right of the central subject is the wording "2 Cents" in white Gothic underneath which, arranged in three lines, is the inscription "United States Postage" in dark Gothic. In a horizontal panel with dark background along the lower edge of the stamp is the wording "Nations United for Victory" in white Gothic lettering.
The stamp was first placed on sale at Washington, D.C., on January 14, 1943.
