King George V 1½d Red
Australia · 1927 · 1½d
This definitive stamp features a right-facing portrait of King George V, crowned and wearing the Robe of State. The design is framed by an ornate oval, with the denomination '1½d' at the bottom and 'AUSTRALIA' inscribed above. This red stamp was a workhorse of the Australian postal system for several years.
Issued during the interwar period, this stamp reflects the strong ties between Australia and the British Empire under the reign of King George V. The 1½d rate was the standard letter postage rate within Australia at the time.
