To prevent seceding states from profiting from the sale of stamps during the Civil War, the U.S. demonetized the previous stamps and created new designs for the 1861-62 issues. The frame for this stamp differs greatly from that of the left-facing Washington stamp produced previously. The denomination is expressed in numbers in the top corners of the stamp to make it easy to differentiate from the previous issue.
