Description: This stamp is a 1 shilling 30 cents definitive issued by the joint postal authority of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika (KUT). The engraved, bi-color design features a deep brown background with a striking reddish-pink vignette. It depicts two hippopotamuses in the lower left foreground on the shores of the Victoria Nile, with the rushing torrents of Murchison Falls plunging down the canyon in the background. Flanking the landscape is the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II enclosed in an oval frame. The names of the three participating territories—Tanganyika, Kenya, and Uganda—are prominently displayed along the borders, framing the denomination value of 1/30.
