Description: This definitive stamp features the Dorothy Wilding photographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing left, set within a distinctively designed oval frame. Unlike lower values in the series which display numerical currency symbols in the corners, this seven pence issue spells out the denomination SEVEN PENCE in full text along the bottom curve of the central oval. The words POSTAGE and REVENUE curve along the upper left and right sides respectively. The four corners are ornately decorated with the national floral emblems: a rose and thistle at the top, and a daffodil and shamrock at the bottom. The entire design is printed in a vivid bright green ink. This specific used copy bears an elegant, sweeping black pen ink signature cancellation across the portrait instead of a standard metal post office stamp.
Circa: 1950s-1970s
