The stamp features a scenic depiction of a waterfall, intended to be Pagsanjan Falls in the Philippines, but is actually Vernal Falls in Yosemite National Park, California.

Issued during the period when the Philippines was a U.S. territory, this stamp is notable for its design error, mistakenly depicting Vernal Falls in California instead of the intended Pagsanjan Falls in the Philippines.
