Trinidad and Tobago Official Stamp, King George V

Trinidad and Tobago · 1905 · 1d

This stamp features a portrait of King George V, facing left, within an ornate oval frame. The design is overprinted with the word 'OFFICIAL' in black capital letters, designating it for use on government mail. The denomination '1d' (one penny) is indicated at the bottom.

Issued during the British colonial period, these 'Official' stamps were a common practice to control and account for government postage, preventing misuse of regular stamps by civil servants.
