Gold Coast King George V 1/2d Green

Gold Coast · 1913 · 1/2d

This definitive stamp features the left-facing profile of King George V, set within an ornate oval frame. The design is a classic example of the 'Mackennal' head portrait used across the British Empire. The country name 'GOLD COAST' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination 'HALFPENNY' at the bottom.

Issued during the height of the British Empire, this stamp was used for postage in the Gold Coast colony, which would later become the independent nation of Ghana in 1957.
