Description: This stamp features the iconic Dorothy Wilding photographic portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II facing slightly left, adorned with the glittering state diadem. The portrait is beautifully framed within a delicate, circular garland composed of the four symbolic floral emblems of the United Kingdom, woven together to celebrate royal unity. This botanical border incorporates the English Tudor rose, the Scottish thistle, the Irish shamrock, and the Welsh daffodil. The base of the design displays the text POSTAGE REVENUE centered between mirrored representations of the pre-decimal 1½d denomination in both lower corners. The entire composition is printed in a rich green hue, and this specific used specimen displays a heavy black hand-struck postal cancellation crossing over the Queen's face.
