This commemorative 1½d stamp was issued by the Gold Coast in 1948 to mark the Silver Wedding Anniversary of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (1923–1948). Printed in carmine-red, it features finely detailed portraits of Their Majesties, symbolizing both loyalty and colonial ties to the British Crown. The issue was part of a larger omnibus series released throughout the British Commonwealth, making it a significant item for collectors of both Commonwealth and royal-themed philately. Postally used examples, like this one, also reflect genuine circulation during the final years of Gold Coast before Ghana’s independence in 1957.
