The Department issued the 5-cent stamp commemorating the 400th anniversary of the first continuous permanent European settlement in the New World through the Saint Augustine, Fla., post office on August 28, 1965. A stamp identical in design, except for necessary differences in the caption and denomination, was released simultaneously by Spain.
Depicted in the design is a Spanish explorer with the Royal banner of Spain of the period in the background.
