Australia 1934 Victoria Centenary 2d Red

Australia · 1934 · 2d

This stamp commemorates the centenary of the founding of Victoria. The design features a portrait of an Aboriginal man, identified as John Batman's guide, against a red background. It was part of a set of three stamps issued to mark this significant anniversary in Australian history.

Issued in 1934, this stamp marked 100 years since the establishment of the state of Victoria, a key event in Australia's colonial development. The choice to feature an Aboriginal man was notable for the era.
