Description: This item is an authentic 50-cent definitive postage stamp issued by Aden Colony, a former British territory on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Printed in a distinct dull blue ink, the design highlights a cartographic map of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, clearly marking the longitudinal line "45°E" and latitude line "15°N". The upper-right corner features a prominent circular vignette containing the right-facing profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II topped by a royal crown, while the top-left area carries the territory name and denomination rendered in Arabic script. The specimen exhibits traditional comb perforations and is heavily defaced by a black, multi-bar circular date stamp postal cancellation strike.
