Description: The vertical format stamp exhibits a multi-toned graphic presentation featuring a central sepia-toned bust portrait of King George VI clad in his detailed ceremonial military uniform. Enclosing this central royal vignette is a dark slate-grey rectangular frame embellished with elegant, symmetrical Maori-inspired scrollwork carvings lining the left and right borders. The capitalized name of the issuing nation, "NEW ZEALAND," is cleanly integrated along the top margin. Positioned horizontally beneath the portrait is a small banner reading "POSTAGE & REVENUE," which splits two ornate circular corner frames displaying the "3/-" three-shilling face value denomination text.
