This stamp features a left-facing profile of King-Grand Duke William III of the Netherlands. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the denomination '1 SGR' at the top and 'LUXEMBOURG' at the bottom. This was the second stamp issued by Luxembourg, following the initial 1852 issue.

Issued during the personal union between the Netherlands and Luxembourg under William III, this stamp represents the early postal history of the Grand Duchy before it gained full independence.
