This classic definitive stamp from Australia features John Scullin, who served as the country’s Prime Minister during the early years of the Great Depression (1929–1932). Issued as part of Australia’s long-running definitive series, the stamp presents a dignified portrait in a bold red background with clean typographic styling. The 10-cent denomination reflects its everyday postal use, making it a widely circulated yet historically significant issue. Collectors value this stamp for its political theme and its place within Australia’s mid-20th century definitive designs. Its minimalist yet striking design is characteristic of Australian portrait definitives of the period.
