Description: This is a Great Britain 5-shilling high-value definitive stamp featuring the profile of King George VI positioned above the Royal Coat of Arms. The intricate design includes the heraldic lion and unicorn supporting the central shield, with the denomination "5s" prominently displayed in both upper corners. At the base, the word "POSTAGE" is clearly engraved.
This specific example is a used stamp. It bears a bold, circular London postal cancellation mark dated 14 JAN 49 (January 14, 1949), which sharply overlays the red recess-printed design.
