King George V 2½d Blue Definitive Postage Stamp

This item is a definitive postage stamp depicting King George V. The stamp is predominantly blue and features a profile portrait of King George V facing left, enclosed within an oval frame. Above the portrait, a crown and decorative filigree are visible. The words "POSTAGE" and "REVENUE" are inscribed on a banner curling over the crown, situated at the top left and top right, respectively. The denomination "2½" is prominently displayed in the bottom left and bottom right corners. In the center bottom, the text "TWO PENCE HALF PENNY" is clearly legible, indicating the stamp’s value. The stamp has perforations along all four edges, although the left and right perforations are partially obscured by what appears to be another adjacent stamp or a mounting strip. The overall color is a deep, uniform blue, with the portrait and textual elements rendered in a lighter shade, creating contrast. The visible condition suggests some minor wear consistent with its age, possibly including slight discoloration or hinge remnants on the reverse, though these cannot be confirmed without further examination. The design is characteristic of British stamps issued during the reign of King George V (1910-1936), making its estimated age within this period. The craftsmanship is typical of early 20th-century philatelic production, with intricate detailing in the portrait and surrounding ornamental framework.
