The Statehood Anniversary stamp shows a desert nightscape including the giant saguaro cactus in bloom. The 13 red and gold rays on the top half of the Arizona flag represent the 13 original counties of the state and the rays of the setting sun. Red and gold also were the colors of the flag carried by Coronado’s 1540 expedition. Th e bottom half of the flag has the same blue, representing Liberty, as the U.S. flag. Since Arizona was the nation’s largest producer of copper, a copper star was placed in the flag’s center. The flag was designed in 1910 by Col. Charles W. Harris, head of the Arizona National Guard, when he noticed that Arizona’s was the only rifle team that had no flag to carry to the annual National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. It was adopted on February 17, 1917, by the Arizona Legislature.
