Northern Rhodesia King George VI and Giraffe

Northern Rhodesia · 1938 · 1½d

This definitive stamp from Northern Rhodesia features a dual-portrait design. On the left is a profile of King George VI, and on the right is a detailed engraving of a giraffe, a species native to the region. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork, with the country's name at the top and the denomination at the bottom.

Issued as part of the first definitive series for King George VI's reign in Northern Rhodesia, this set replaced the previous King George V issues and showcased local wildlife and industry alongside the monarch's portrait.
