King George V Three Pence Violet

Under Review

Description: This three pence violet stamp belongs to the definitive series of Great Britain issued during the reign of King George V. The central design features the iconic left-facing profile of the King, which was adapted by designer Bertram Mackennal from his own coinage and medal designs. Surrounding the royal portrait is an intricate, classical frame featuring a crown at the top, a symbolic laurel wreath, and distinct decorative scrolls displaying the value text and numerals. Intended for both postal deliveries and fiscal duties, the stamp prominently integrates the text "Postage Revenue" directly under the central oval vignette.

Circa: 1912-1934

Condition: Used with some damage
