The size is continental 6 x 4", postally unused, government postal marked. Published by the Ministry of Communications of the USSR, circulation 11,000,000 copies. The pre-printed postal mark features the USSR State Emblem, perhaps the most widely used stamp at the time. The artwork features the Spasskaya Clock Tower of the Moscow Kremlin, with flags and flowers on the foreground suggestive of the 1 May demonstration in Red Square, and a flock of ghostly white doves of peace soaring. "МИР ТРУД МАЙ" on the banner means "Peace Labor May". The artist's name, I Skryabin (И Скрябин) is printed in the upper left-hand corner on the verso.

In excellent condition. Minimal shelf wear to the obverse, a small cluster of oily stains at the bottom right-hand corner on the verso, a small crease at the lower right-hand corner, and minuscule corner bumps constitute the entire list of wear, barely noticeable and not detractive.
