Issued by Spain in 1967, this 3 pesetas stamp features a historical map of the "Costa Septentrional de California" (Northern Coast of California). The detailed cartographic design recalls early Spanish explorations and mapping of the Pacific coastline. Printed in monochrome shades, it highlights the geographical features and annotations from historic navigation charts. A fine example of Spain’s philatelic tribute to its maritime and colonial history, it appeals to collectors interested in cartography and exploration themes.
