Sovereign Profile of the Commonwealth

Under Review

Description: This deep claret-colored pre-decimal definitive postage stamp showcases a classic fine-line profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. She faces left, wearing the regal George IV State Diadem. Her hair is styled in her signature tightly pinned mid-century curls. The design focuses completely on her detailed profile, subtly framed by a soft, cross-hatched background gradient. The lower register features the name "AUSTRALIA" in a bold serif typeface. A prominent "4d" face value indicates the four-pence denomination, neatly nestled just above the country name in the bottom right corner. This specimen boasts standard, crisp comb perforations and is framed by a thin double-line border that contains the entire engraved image.

Circa: 1950s

Condition: Used - Hinged
