Australia 1966 4c Queen Elizabeth II Definitive

Australia · 1966 · 4c

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, facing right, based on a photograph by Anthony Buckley. The design is simple and elegant, with the denomination '4c' in the upper left and 'AUSTRALIA' at the bottom. This was the base domestic letter rate stamp upon Australia's conversion to decimal currency.

Issued on February 14, 1966, this stamp was part of the first definitive series released when Australia switched from pounds, shillings, and pence to decimal currency (dollars and cents).
