Gold Coast King George V Definitives

Gold Coast · 1921 · 1/2d

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King George V, facing left, within an ornate frame. The design is typical of British colonial issues of the era, emphasizing the monarch's authority. The country name 'GOLD COAST' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination '1/2d' at the bottom.

Issued for the Gold Coast, a British Crown Colony, this stamp was part of a long-running series used for everyday postage. The colony would later gain independence in 1957 and become the nation of Ghana.
