Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika 1935 King George V Silver Jubilee 20c Error 'Dot by Flagstaff'

Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika · 1935 · 20c

This stamp was part of the omnibus series celebrating the Silver Jubilee of King George V. The design features a portrait of the King in his Admiral's uniform, with a view of Windsor Castle in the background. This particular variety is known for a constant flaw, a small dot appearing next to the flagstaff on Windsor Castle.

Issued across the British Empire in 1935, the Silver Jubilee series was a major philatelic event, celebrating 25 years of King George V's reign and showcasing the unity of the Commonwealth.
