The central design depicted a United Confederate Veteran as he appeared in 1951. Behind him, he was shown in his youth as a Confederate soldier. Across the top of the stamp is the wording "Final Reunion United Confederate Veterans" in whiteface Gothic. In the upper left corner of the design is an hourglass representing time, most of which has run out as indicated by the sand in the lower half.
The stamp was printed by the rotary process, electric-eye perforated, and issued in panes of 50 stamps each. The printing of 110 million copies of this stamp was authorised.
