This stamp is a definitive from Great Britain featuring King George V, overprinted in black ink with "Rialtas Sealadach na hÉireann 1922". The overprint translates to "Provisional Government of Ireland 1922". This was one of the first stamps issued by the newly formed Irish state.

Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, the Irish Free State was established. These overprinted stamps were a provisional measure to provide postage until new, distinctly Irish designs could be produced.
