King George V, Kenya and Uganda

Kenya and Uganda · 1922 · 1s

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 '1s' (one shilling) at the bottom.

Issued for the combined postal administration of Kenya and Uganda, this stamp reflects the period of British colonial rule in East Africa. The King George V series was the first to bear the name of the newly formed Kenya Colony.
