This striking red 1 penny (1d) postage stamp from New South Wales, Australia, features the colonial Coat of Arms adorned with a crown, shield, and decorative frame. Issued in the late 19th to early 20th century, it was part of the definitive series representing state identity before Australia’s federal issues began in 1913. The detailed engraving highlights the lion, stars, and cross of St. George, symbolizing British heritage and local pride. Postmarked, it shows genuine postal use, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Australian States and pre-Commonwealth issues.
