South West Africa Decimal Definitive Series, 1961

South West Africa · 1961 · 1/2c

This definitive stamp, part of the first decimal series for South West Africa, features a striking design of a Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), a large species of antelope native to the region. The design highlights the animal's distinctive spiral horns and striped coat, set against a simple, single-color background.

Issued in 1961, this series marked South West Africa's transition to a decimal currency system (the Rand), aligning it with South Africa, which administered the territory at the time. The stamps showcased the region's unique wildlife and natural heritage.
