The cover features an illustrated cachet depicting the United States Supreme Court building, accompanied by the inscription "National Capital Sesquicentennial," commemorating the years 1800–1950.

An attractive Supreme Court collectible honoring the nation's judicial branch and the 150th anniversary of Washington's establishment as the federal capital.
