Queen Elizabeth II Definitives, Low Values

Singapore · 1955 · 1c

This definitive stamp features the classic right-facing portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Dorothy Wilding. The portrait is framed by a simple, elegant design with the country name 'SINGAPORE' at the top and the denomination '1c' at the bottom. This was part of a widely used series across the British Commonwealth.

Issued in 1955, this stamp represents the period when Singapore was a self-governing British Crown Colony, prior to its full independence. The use of the monarch's portrait was standard for definitive postage across the Commonwealth.
