This classic ½-penny green definitive from Montserrat (British West Indies) belongs to the King George VI series issued between 1938 and 1948. The stamp features a finely engraved profile portrait of King George VI at left, balanced by the island’s colonial emblem at right. The central vignette depicts the serene coastline of Carr’s Bay, framed by lush palms and rugged headlands—one of the most admired scenic designs of the Caribbean colonial period. Printed by De La Rue, this issue is valued by collectors for its sharp line-engraving, rich green tones, and its place within the iconic KGVI omnibus definitives.
