This definitive series features two primary designs.

The stamps were printed by De La Rue & Co. on chalk-surfaced paper with a multiple crown and 'CA' watermark.

Issued during the reign of King George V, this series represents a classic period of British colonial philately, with designs that emphasized the monarch and Britain's maritime power.
