Queen Elizabeth II Definitives

Hong Kong · 1954 · 10c

This definitive stamp features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, facing right, based on a photograph by Dorothy Wilding. The design is framed by a simple border with the country name 'HONG KONG' at the top and the denomination '10c' at the bottom. This was part of the first definitive series issued in Hong Kong for the new monarch.

Issued in 1954, this stamp reflects Hong Kong's status as a British Crown Colony during the early reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The Wilding portrait series was used across many Commonwealth nations, symbolizing unity under the new monarch.
