This 2d violet stamp from the Gold Coast was issued on 8th June 1946 to commemorate the Allied victory in World War II. It features a finely engraved portrait of King George VI in an oval frame, crowned at the top, alongside a detailed view of the Houses of Parliament in London with the River Thames in the foreground. Part of the 1946 Peace/Victory Omnibus series released across many British colonies, this issue symbolizes the return of peace and stability after the war. A popular item among collectors of British Commonwealth issues, it is valued for both its historic significance and its attractive engraving.
