The upper corners feature the Tudor rose (left) and the thistle (right), while the lower corners display the daffodil (left) and shamrock (right), representing the four nations of the United Kingdom. The denomination 2½d is encircled at the bottom center. This specific issue is notable for its vibrant red shade, distinct from the earlier pale blue version of the same value.
