King George V Silver Jubilee THREE HALFPENCE Stamp

This item is a commemorative postage and revenue stamp issued to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935. The stamp features a central medallion with a profile portrait of King George V facing left, depicted with a mustache and beard. The primary color of the stamp is a deep reddish-brown or sepia tone. Above the central portrait, the text 'SILVER JUBILEE' is prominently displayed. To the left of the portrait, the year '1910' is shown above an image of a crown, with the word 'Postage' below it. To the right, the year '1935' appears above a wreath or laurel, with the word 'Revenue' below it. Separating these elements are vertical bands adorned with a stylized leaf or grain pattern. At the bottom of the stamp, the denomination '1 1/2' is visible on both the left and right, flanking the text 'THREE HALFPENCE'. The stamp has perforations along its edges, indicating it was intended for separation from a sheet. The visible condition shows some signs of cancellation, with faint horizontal lines across the stamp, particularly over the portrait and the text 'Postage'. This suggests it has been used. The paper appears slightly discolored in places, possibly due to age or handling, but generally retains its printed clarity. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard philatelic quality for its era, with clear printing and distinct lines. The overall aesthetic is historical, reflecting the design sensibilities of British commemorative stamps from the mid-1930s.
