Description: This definitive stamp features the left-facing portrait profile of King George VI, based on a design by Eric Gill. The portrait is crowned with the Imperial Crown directly above the monarch's head. The background is a solid pale green color, flanked by vertical inscriptions reading POSTAGE on the left and REVENUE on the right. Four stylized floral emblems adorn the corners, representing the nations of the United Kingdom: the Tudor rose for England in the top left, the thistle for Scotland in the top right, the daffodil for Wales in the bottom left, and the shamrock for Ireland in the bottom right. The pre-decimal denomination of 1½d is clearly centered inside a circle at the bottom, and this specific used copy displays a clear hand-struck postal cancellation mark on the left side of the profile.
