Description: This definitive stamp features the Dorothy Wilding photographic portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II facing slightly left, elegantly framed inside a central oval vignette. The background and framing details are printed in a rich green ink, contrasted by the pale, unprinted paper of the Queen's profile. The text POSTAGE runs vertically on the left side of the oval frame, while REVENUE runs down the right side. Elaborate floral representations decorate all four corners, incorporating the English rose at the top left, the Scottish thistle at the top right, the Welsh daffodil at the bottom left, and the Irish shamrock at the bottom right. The denomination is clearly inscribed as 1/3 at the bottom center, and this specific used copy displays a clean series of three horizontal wavy-line machine postal cancellations running across the face.
