King George V Definitive Stamp

Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika · 1922 · 1 Shilling

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.

Issued for the combined territories of Kenya and Uganda, this stamp reflects the period of British colonial administration in East Africa before the inclusion of Tanganyika in the postal union.
