King George V, 1 Shilling, Black on Emerald

Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika · 1922 · 1s (Shilling)

This definitive stamp features a left-facing profile portrait of King George V, set within an ornate oval frame. The design is a classic example of British colonial philately, with the inscription 'KENYA AND UGANDA' at the top and the denomination '1 SHILLING' at the bottom. The stamp is printed in black ink on emerald green paper.

Issued as part of the first definitive series for the combined territories of Kenya and Uganda, this stamp reflects the British colonial administration of the era. The series was later overprinted for use in Tanganyika after it became a British mandate.
