British East Africa King George V Definitives, Multiple Script CA Watermark

British East Africa · 1922 · 1 shilling

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 'EAST AFRICA AND UGANDA PROTECTORATES' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination '1 SHILLING' at the bottom.

Issued for use in the combined territories of Kenya and Uganda, this series replaced earlier stamps of the East Africa Protectorate. The 'Multiple Script CA' watermark was a standard security feature for British colonial stamps of this period.
