Uganda · 1960 · 5c to 20s (14 values)

This definitive series features a dual-panel design. The left panel displays the Machin-like portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the right panel showcases the newly granted Coat of Arms of Uganda. The set comprises 14 different denominations, each with a unique color combination, to cover various postal rates.

Issued in 1960, this set represents a transitional period for Uganda, then a British Protectorate, just two years before gaining full independence in 1962. The inclusion of the new Coat of Arms alongside the Queen's portrait symbolized a growing national identity.
