King George V Definitives, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika

Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika · 1922 · 1 Cent

This definitive stamp features a left-facing profile portrait of King George V, set within an ornate oval frame. The design, known as the 'Mackennal' profile, is a classic representation of the British monarch used across the empire. The country name 'KENYA AND UGANDA' is inscribed at the top, with the denomination '1 CENT' at the bottom.

Issued in 1922, this was the first definitive series for the combined territories of Kenya and Uganda, reflecting their status as British colonies. The name was later changed to 'Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika' in 1935.
