Description: This 2d (two pence) definitive postage stamp from the colonial era of Jamaica commemorates the establishment of the island's milestone legislative update. Struck in a beautiful shade of sage green, the design showcases two prominent historical rulers within interconnected laurel wreaths: King Charles II on the left and King George VI on the right. Below the respective portraits, separate scrolls denote the "First House of Assembly 1664" and the "New Constitution 1944", bridging nearly three centuries of administrative history. The design is beautifully balanced on either flank by heavily detailed representations of ceremonial legislative maces, while the colonial coat of arms rests firmly at the bottom center. This postally used specimen displays a heavy, dark black ink cancellation mark running vertically through the portrait of King George VI.
