King George VI Postage and Revenue Stamp (1d)

This item is a postage and revenue stamp featuring the profile of King George VI. The stamp is predominantly red with the image and text appearing in a lighter, contrasting shade, likely white or off-white. The overall shape is rectangular with perforated edges, typical of postage stamps. The central and most prominent feature is the left-facing profile bust of King George VI, depicted with a clean-cut hairstyle. Above his head is an intricate depiction of a royal crown. To the left side, running vertically, are the words 'POSTAGE' and to the right, 'REVENUE', also running vertically. In the upper left corner, there is a design resembling a rose, and in the upper right, a bird on a branch. In the lower right corner, there's a floral design, possibly a shamrock or thistle given British Commonwealth iconography. The denomination '1 D' (one penny) is encircled at the bottom center, below the monarch's portrait. The stamp does not appear to show significant wear or damage, such as tears, creases, or heavy cancellations, suggesting it might be in an unused or lightly used condition. The perforations appear intact. The style suggests it belongs to the mid-20th century, specifically during King George VI's reign (1936-1952). The craftsmanship is consistent with official government-issued philatelic items, indicating a high degree of precision in printing.
