The Department issued the 5‑cent stamp marking the 750th anniversary of the Magna Carta through the Jamestown, Va., post office on June 15, 1965.
The stamp visually communicates the first successful challenge of the divine right of kings. The subordinate position of the crown indicates the triumph of the people in their quest for representation under the law.
