Treasure detail

2½d Ultramarine King Edward VII

Under Review

Description: . This regular definitive postage stamp marks a significant transitional era in British philately following the Victorian period. The design layout features a left-facing profile portrait of King Edward VII nestled inside a crisp oval frame. A grand imperial crown is positioned directly above the frame, flanked by curved corner tablets that read "POSTAGE" on the left and "REVENUE" on the right. A dense laurel wreath lines the outer borders, converging at the base around a decorative tablet displaying the "2½d" denomination. Printed in a distinct ultramarine ink hue, this heavily used specimen is dominated by a dense, circular hand stamped obliteration postmark that darkens the upper half of the frame.

Circa: 1902
