Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial Coin First Day Cover
This Coin First Day Cover commemorates one of the most important land deals in American history—the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.
In that year, President Thomas Jefferson negotiated the purchase of the vast Louisiana Territory from France, doubling the size of the United States almost overnight. For $15 million, the young nation gained control of land stretching from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, securing trade routes, encouraging westward expansion, and reshaping the future of the country.
Issued in 2003, this cover marks the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. It bears a First Day of Issue postmark from New Orleans, the heart of the territory acquired in the agreement.
The cover includes two Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial coins struck by the U.S. Mint, the 1953 Louisiana Purchase Sesquicentennial stamp, and a 3¢ Thomas Jefferson stamp. Artwork showing Jefferson appears against a map of the expanding United States, tying the stamps and coins directly to the historical event.
