See the new Elvis Forever Stamp

The United States Postal Service released images Thursday of the new Elvis Presley Forever Stamp.

The stamp will be released August 12 and features a black and white photo of Presley taken in 1955.

A small gold crown appears in the corner as a "nod to Presley's nickname, The King of Rock 'n' Roll," according to a statement from the USPS. The stamps will come in square sheets of 16. The square is meant to resemble a vinyl record album, the USPS said.

The USPS will also release a commemorative CD with 18 of the King's hit songs in addition to the stamps.

Elvis appeared on a stamp in 1993. It was the most popular U.S. commemorative stamp of all time, according to the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum.
