New Zealand 1930 Postal Fiscal 2 Shilling Blue

New Zealand · 1930 · 2s

This definitive stamp, also known as a postal fiscal, features a central portrait of King George V. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork and includes the denomination 'TWO SHILLINGS' at the bottom and 'POSTAGE' at the top, with the New Zealand coat of arms below the portrait.

Issued during the reign of King George V, these high-value stamps were designed for both postal and revenue (fiscal) purposes, a common practice in the British Commonwealth at the time to economize on printing costs.
