The complex imagery portrays an armored Cavalier soldier from the English Civil War standing next to his steed, rendered in a detailed and expressive engraving style. Running vertically along the right side is the identifier "Millennium 1999/11" and the thematic title "Civil War / R. Kelly". The face value of 26 is cleanly printed in white in the bottom-right corner. Positioned in the upper-left quadrant is the classic gold-foiled silhouette profile of Queen Elizabeth II.

Notes:

This 26p stamp was the second value in a cohesive four-stamp set examining various military and peacekeeping eras across British history, known collectively as "The Soldiers' Tale".
