Description
Australia Scott #24 — Used — King George V “Three-Halfpence” (1914–1920 Issue)
Issued between 1914 and 1920, this 1½d stamp from Australia’s iconic King George V Sideface series is one of the foundational issues of early Commonwealth philately. Printed in a rich purple-brown shade, the design features a finely engraved profile of King George V framed by native Australian motifs, including wattle blossoms and a crowned emblem above.
The KGV Sideface series is well known for its myriad printings, perforations, and plate varieties, making it one of the most studied classic issues of Australia. This example displays the strong, detailed line work characteristic of the typographed printings used during the period.
This stamp is postally used, with a clear, well-struck circular cancellation that leaves the portrait unobscured. The color remains deep and attractive, and the perforations are generally sound, making it a solid representative of this widely collected definitive series.
An excellent addition for collectors of:
-
King George V issues
-
Early Australia & Commonwealth
-
Classic typographed definitives
-
Used condition historical issues
