King George V Issues
The Cook Government commissioned a stamp of the current King, (the then King George V) in 1913, the first version of this stamp, issued in 1913 was engraved, the remaining issues were Typographed, this stamp can be found in a number of different shades and colours, there were two printings of this first stamp (engraved issue), one in 1913 and the second on in 1914, after the second printing there were twenty more releases until these stamps were withdrawn, a link to each section is listed above in the drop down menu and below by year.
The King George V stamps were printed over a period of 23 years in a huge range of colours, shades of colour/s and different inks and papers, I could not possibly do them credit on these few pages, but every basic issue is listed, just not the variety of colours that were used for each stamp as each stamp colour could have any number of different shades and/or hues of that same colour, from one end of the spectrim to the other and from what I have seen they did.
The actual years this stamp was printed and reprinted are:
1913-14 (Engraved), 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933 & 1936, each link takes you to the respective page.
