Printed by the rotary process, in green, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This stamp was issued to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the creation of the Territory of Minnesota.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process, in green, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects. The central design depicts a pioneer moving westward with a Red River ox cart. The bottom border is formed by a dark panel, in which is the wording "3¢ United States Postage 3¢" in white Gothic. In the upper left portion of the stamp, arranged in four lines of dark Gothic, is "Minnesota Territorial Centennial 1849–1949." In the same style in the upper right corner appears the lettering "Red River Ox Cart."
The stamp was first offered for sale through the Saint Paul, Minn., post office, on March 3, 1949.
