500th Anniversary of the Arrival of Hernan Cortes in Mexico and the founding of the city of Veracruz

On April 22, 2019, the Spanish Post issued a postage stamp in honor of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Hernan Cortes in Mexico and the founding of the city of Veracruz.

The stamp depicts an image of an engraving of Hernán Cortés in the foreground looking toward the background of the stamp, which contains a detail from a watercolour lithograph of the Plaza de Veracruz done by Carl Nebel sometime between 1829 and 1834.
