Issued in 1947, this commemorative stamp marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Churubusco (1847), a key engagement of the Mexican-American War. The design features General Manuel Rincón, one of the Mexican commanders who defended the Convent of Churubusco during the fierce fighting. Printed in deep green, the stamp reflects Mexico’s national remembrance of resistance and sacrifice. The bold inscriptions “1847–1947” emphasize the centennial theme, while the fine engraving style is typical of mid-20th-century Mexican issues. A historically significant piece, especially valued within military-thematic and Mexican classic commemorative collections.
