The first day cancellation of the stamp is scheduled to take place in Riga post office No. 10 at 41/43 Elizabetes Street from 8 AM to 8 PM on the 31st of January 2020.
The face value of the new stamp is €1.27, which corresponds to the postage of letter-post items in the weight class from 21 to 100 grams within Latvia. The release of stamp is accompanied by the issue of a special cover with a print run of 1,000 copies. The philatelic releases have been designed by the artist Elita Viliama.
The new stamp in the series of historical ships depicts the four-mast motor-sailing ship Eurasia built in Plieņciems, Engure Municipality in 1925 and constructed by the renowned Latvian shipbuilder Mārtiņš Morgenšterns. Eurasia was the last largest wooden ship built in Latvia, with a length of 45.5 metres and deadweight of 513 tonnes. In 1933 the ship was wrecked and sunk while transporting cargo across the Atlantic Ocean.
