The 5-cent New Jersey Tercentenary commemorative postage stamp was first placed on sale on June 15, 1964, at Elizabeth, N.J., the oldest city in the State.
This stamp, designed by Douglas Allen, depicts Philip Carteret with two of his men walking ashore at Elizabethtown in 1664, superimposed over an outline map of the State. The art was chosen from the top 25 designs submitted under competition sponsored by the New Jersey Tercentenary Commission.
