Issued by Spain in 1967, this 50 centimos stamp features a historic map of the Nootka Sound (Costa de Nutka), located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. The design commemorates early Spanish exploration and mapping of the Pacific Northwest in the 18th century. The map reflects Spain’s maritime influence and territorial interests during the era of global exploration. An elegant monochrome design showcases detailed coastal geography and handwritten annotations. A philatelic tribute to Spain’s cartographic legacy.
