Australia 1960 5d Blue Queen Elizabeth II Definitive

Australia · 1960 · 5d

This definitive stamp features a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, based on a photograph by Dorothy Wilding. The design is simple and elegant, with the Queen's effigy set against a solid blue background, framed by the country name 'AUSTRALIA' at the top and the denomination '5d' at the bottom.

Issued as part of a long-running definitive series, this stamp was a workhorse of Australian mail during the early 1960s, a period of post-war growth and prosperity for the nation.
