This definitive stamp features a portrait of King George V, framed in an ornate design. It is a high-value stamp from the 1922-27 series, printed in black and red on green paper. The denomination of £100 made it one of the highest face value stamps ever issued by the British Empire.

Issued for the combined postal territory of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika, this stamp was primarily used for fiscal purposes, such as collecting revenue on legal documents, rather than for postage.
