Greek Postage Stamp with King George II

This item is a historical Greek postage stamp featuring the profile of a man, likely King George II of Greece, depicted facing left. The stamp is predominantly dark green in color, giving it a somewhat somber or distinguished appearance. Its rectangular shape adheres to standard postage stamp dimensions, though exact measurements are not discernible from the image. The central portrait is framed by an ornate border, with decorative elements running along the vertical sides and a more geometric pattern at the bottom. At the top left, the numeral '1' indicates the denomination, while other faint markings or text are visible at the upper right and along the bottom edge, including what appears to be 'ΕΛΛΑΣ' (ELLAS), the Greek word for Greece. The stamp is affixed to what appears to be paper, suggesting it might be part of a collection or on an envelope. The visible condition shows some signs of age, including potential discoloration of the surrounding paper, and what looks like a cancellation mark or a slight tear/fold at the very top right corner. The printing quality appears to be standard for early to mid-20th-century philately, indicating a level of craftsmanship consistent with government-issued postal currency. The style points to a classical portraiture common in royal or national significant figures on stamps from the early to mid-20th century. The specific color variation and denomination would be crucial for precise identification within a philatelic catalog.
