The date of issue reflects the day that license was printed. Had several replaced with new addresses as I moved and these all had the date of issue as a printed date. I had requested they print my original issue date of 1976 on mine, but to no avail as they now show my issue date as being this past August. I too have my new license and really like it except the print being black on a fairly dark background makes it difficult to read and almost impossible to make a photocopy of.
