King George 5 postage stamps
George V Stamps - Issued 1911 to 1936
George 5 stamps
The Reign of King George V is really the gem for specialised stamp collectors. There are a huge array of shades, watermark variations and errors for specialist collectors.
The Reign contains the most beautiful stamps ever issued - Seahorses. The first George V stamps were not ready for issue until June 1911, over a year since his accession and then only the ½d and 1d values.
It would take yet another year before any of the other values were ready. Hence the reason why some values of Edward VII continued to be produced until 1913.
