Hong Kong 1975 Queen Elizabeth II Definitive

Hong Kong · 1975 ·

This definitive stamp features the iconic 'Machin' portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Arnold Machin. The Queen is depicted in profile, wearing the George IV State Diadem. This design was widely used across the Commonwealth, adapted here for Hong Kong's currency and postal needs.

Issued during the British colonial period, this stamp reflects Hong Kong's status as a Crown Colony. The Machin series is one of the most recognizable and long-running stamp designs in philatelic history.
