Australia 1914 King George V 1d Carmine-Red

Australia · 1914 · 1d (One Penny)

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King George V, the reigning monarch of the British Empire at the time. The design is framed by an ornate border with a kangaroo on the left and an emu on the right, national symbols of Australia. The denomination 'ONE PENNY' is inscribed at the bottom.

Issued during the early years of the Commonwealth of Australia, this stamp is part of the first definitive series to feature a British monarch, replacing the earlier Kangaroo and Map design for the most common postal rates.
