King George V Red Definitive

Kenya and Uganda · 1922 · 1s

This definitive stamp features a left-facing three-quarter portrait of King George V, set within an ornate oval frame. The design, known as the Mackennal profile, is a classic representation of the monarch used across the British Empire. The country name 'KENYA AND UGANDA' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination '1s' (one shilling) at the bottom.

Issued under the joint postal administration of Kenya and Uganda, this stamp is part of the first definitive series for the combined territories, reflecting British colonial rule in East Africa during the early 20th century.
