Nigeria Queen Elizabeth II Definitive
Nigeria · 1953 · 2d
This definitive stamp features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, based on a photograph by Dorothy Wilding. The design is framed by an ornamental border, with the country name 'NIGERIA' at the top and the denomination '2d' at the bottom. This was part of the first definitive series issued for Nigeria after Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne.
Issued in 1953, this stamp reflects Nigeria's status as a British colony during the early reign of Queen Elizabeth II, just a few years before the country gained its independence in 1960.
