This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King George V, set within an ornate oval frame. The design is part of the widely used 'Mackennal' profile series, common across the British Empire. The country name 'KENYA AND UGANDA' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination 'ONE SHILLING' at the bottom.

Issued for the combined postal administration of Kenya and Uganda, this stamp reflects the British colonial presence in East Africa during the early 20th century. The King George V issues were the workhorses of the postal system for many years.
