Description: This monochromatic reddish-brown postage stamp showcases a three-quarter portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II looking toward the left while wearing a regal tiara, necklace, and matching gown. The portrait is set against a finely engraved background pattern of uniform horizontal lines. The royal cypher "EⅡR" is neatly enclosed in a small rectangular frame in the upper-right corner. The lower-left corner indicates the fractional denomination value of "1½d". Native Kōwhai blossoms drape down in the upper-left corner, while a cluster of stars depicting the Southern Cross constellation sits on the bottom right just above the bold capitalized inscription "NEW ZEALAND".
