King George VI Definitive
Singapore · 1948 · 1c
This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King George VI, the reigning monarch of the British Empire at the time. The design is simple and elegant, with the country name 'SINGAPORE' at the top and the denomination '1c' at the bottom, framed by ornate scrollwork.
Issued in 1948, this was the first stamp issued by Singapore as a separate Crown Colony after its separation from the Straits Settlements and the Malayan Union. It marks a key administrative change in post-war British Malaya.
