Jamaica 1d Queen Victoria Stamp

Jamaica · 1870 · 1d (one penny)

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of Queen Victoria, based on the 'Chalon Head' design by Alfred Edward Chalon. The design is framed by an ornate oval, with 'JAMAICA' inscribed at the top and 'POSTAGE' at the bottom. The denomination 'ONE PENNY' is indicated in tablets on either side of the portrait.
