Description: This horizontal commemorative stamp represents the only postage stamp issued specifically by Great Britain to mark the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Designed jointly by Eric Gill and Edmund Dulac, the vignette features matching side-by-side portrait busts of the newly crowned King in full military attire and the Queen wearing a sparkling tiara. A highly decorative Tudor crown looms over their stylized, intertwined "GRI" royal cipher positioned precisely between them. The left and right borders are adorned with symbolic pillars enclosing the Royal Orb and the Eagle of Saint John, sitting above dual "1½d" denomination plaques flanking the explicit historical date inscription.
