Australia 5c Surcharge on 4c Red Elizabeth II
Australia · 1967 · 5c on 4c
A red definitive stamp featuring a left-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with 'AUSTRALIA' at the top and '5c' surcharged over '4c' at the bottom.
Issued shortly after Australia's decimalization in 1966, this surcharge reflects a postal rate adjustment, updating the value of an existing definitive stamp.
