Northern Rhodesia King George V Definitive

Northern Rhodesia · 1925 · 1d

This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King George V, set within an ornate frame. The design is typical of British colonial issues of the era, with the country name 'NORTHERN RHODESIA' at the top and the denomination 'ONE PENNY' at the bottom. The stamp is printed in a single color, scarlet.

Issued in 1925, this was part of the first definitive series for Northern Rhodesia, following its establishment as a British protectorate in 1924. These stamps replaced those of Rhodesia and were used until the pictorial series of 1938.
