Hong Kong · 1938 · 15c, 20c, 25c

This set of three definitive stamps features a left-facing portrait of King George VI, who ascended to the British throne in 1936. The design is framed by Chinese characters on the left and right, with the country name 'HONG KONG' at the bottom and the denomination in the upper corners. The stamps were printed by De La Rue & Co. on paper watermarked with multiple script 'CA'.

Issued during the British colonial period, these stamps represent the final definitive series released in Hong Kong before the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent Japanese occupation.
