George Washington, Robert Morris, and Hon. George Ross. Across the top of the stamp in a light panel appears the wording "200th Anniversary—The Birth of Betsy Ross." In a vertical panel at the left a laurel spray is shown encircled by a ribbon bearing the words "United States Postage" in three horizontal lines under which is the denomination "3¢."
