USA: Virginia

Last Wednesday I got a postcard from the USA.

It shows a map of Virginia. Virginia is a US State between the Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains. In 1607 the Colony of Virginia was established as the first permanent English colony in the New World and in the American Revolution it was one of the 13 Colonies. During the American Civil War Richmond, the capital of Virginia, was also the capital of the Confederate States of America. Until today eight US Presidents came from this state earning it the name Mother of the Presidents.

With nice stamps:
American Toleware (issued 22-08-2008)
Tyrannosaurus Rex (from set of four) (issued 29-08-2019)
The stamp was printed with a lenticular effect.
Year of the Rat (issued 11-01-2020)
The stamp was printed with gold foil.

Thank You very much Toby!
