This First Day Cover features a 50-cent airmail stamp from the Federated States of Micronesia, issued for the World Columbian Stamp Expo 1992. The stamp depicts a modern jet aircraft flying above a traditional outrigger sailboat, set against a backdrop of a mountainous island. The cover bears a pictorial cancellation dated May 22, 1992, featuring the Micronesia flag (four white stars on a blue field) with the text 'WCSE '92' and the words 'Stamp Agency' around the perimeter. There is no cachet artwork on the envelope, making it a plain first day cover. The condition of the cover appears to be very fine, with no visible damage.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
