King George V 1 1/2d Stamp (Penny Halfpenny)
This item is a King George V 1 1/2d (penny halfpenny) Postage stamp, likely from Great Britain or a Commonwealth nation. The stamp features a profile portrait of King George V facing left, against a background that appears to be a solid reddish-orange color with a subtle, lighter-toned circular or oval frame surrounding the monarch's head. The denomination '1 1/2D' is placed in the upper left corner. In the upper right, a small crown insignia is visible. The word 'POSTAGE' is prominently displayed in white capital letters at the bottom of the stamp. Overlaid across the King's portrait and surrounding area is a cancellation mark, appearing as a circular date stamp or postmark in black ink. The details of the cancellation are somewhat obscured but seem to include letters and numbers, possibly indicating a date and/or location. The stamp itself is rectangular with perforations visible along the left and right edges, and partially along the top and bottom, consistent with standard postage stamp manufacturing. The color is predominantly a faded reddish-orange, suggesting an older stamp, possibly from the early to mid-20th century. The condition appears to be used, as evidenced by the cancellation mark. The perforations seem intact, though the paper quality and any potential creasing or thinning are not fully discernible from the image. The overall style is characteristic of British colonial or early 20th-century philately, emphasizing the monarch's profile as the central design element.
