King George V Definitives

Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika · 1922 · 1c

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King George V, set within an ornate frame. The design is typical of the British Commonwealth issues of the era, signifying the region's status as a British protectorate and territory. The country name 'KENYA AND UGANDA' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination '1 CENT' at the bottom.

Issued in 1922, this stamp was part of the first series for the combined territories of Kenya and Uganda, following the establishment of the Kenya Colony in 1920. These stamps replaced the issues of the East Africa and Uganda Protectorates.
