Australia Sixpence Kangaroo and Map
Australia · 1913 · 6d (Sixpence)
This definitive stamp features a simple yet iconic design: a kangaroo standing over a map of Australia. The design, known as the 'Kangaroo and Map' series, was the first definitive issue for the newly formed Commonwealth of Australia, symbolizing the nation's unique fauna and geography.
Issued in 1913, this series replaced the individual stamps of the Australian colonies, marking a significant step in establishing a unified national identity following the federation in 1901.
