Description: This stamp displays the classic Dorothy Wilding photographic portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II in profile, facing slightly left while wearing the state diadem. The portrait is elegantly framed inside an oval border designed as a stylized, twisted rope or laurel wreath structure. In the upper corners, the royal cypher is split, with a large letter E on the left and a letter R on the right. The lower right corner contains a circular frame showcasing the pre-decimal denomination of 2½d, balancing the centered bottom text that reads POSTAGE REVENUE. This particular copy features a prominent black machine postmark consisting of parallel straight bars and a diagonal line slashing across the portrait.
