Description: The intricate bicolor design captures a sweeping aerial landscape view of the River Niger flowing around Jebba Island, intersected by the historic multi-section railway bridge. An early twentieth-century steam locomotive is fully engraved across the lower left foreground, steaming out from beneath an ornate, stylized rendering of the St. Edward’s Crown. Positioned boldly in the bottom right corner is a geometric triangular frame housing the "3d" denomination, which stands out against the prominent country header text "NIGERIA" at the top. This specific circulated specimen is heavily marked by a crisp, circular post office handstamp cancellation clearly dated "15 DEC 1955".
