Postage Stamp: George VI and Queen Elizabeth (Morocco Agencies)
This is a vintage postage stamp, likely made of paper with an adhesive backing. The stamp features a dual portrait of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain. The overall color scheme is predominantly a rich brown or sepia tone, suggesting an older printing process. The design is horizontally oriented and appears to be in an unused or mint condition, with visible perforation edges on the top and bottom, and possibly sides (though not fully visible in the image). The monarch, George VI, is depicted on the left, facing slightly right, wearing what appears to be military attire with ornate epaulets and a collar. To the right is Queen Elizabeth, wearing a tiara or headpiece. Above the portraits, a crown is prominently displayed, centered between the two figures. To the right of the crown, the royal cypher 'GR' (George Rex) is visible in an ornate script. The top border of the stamp reads 'POSTAGE' on the left and 'REVENUE' on the right, with decorative elements flanking these texts. Along the left vertical edge, the word 'MOROCCO' is printed vertically, implying its origin or usage in Morocco. On the right vertical edge, 'AGENCIES' is printed vertically. The denomination '15 CENTIMOS' is clearly visible at the bottom of the portraits, with the date '12 MAY * 1937' below it. The style suggests a commemorative issue for the coronation of George VI in 1937. The printing appears crisp, indicating good quality and craftsmanship for its era. There are no obvious signs of wear, tears, creases, or major discoloration, suggesting it has been well-preserved.
