Issued in 1947, this 2d green commemorative stamp from Basutoland (now Lesotho) celebrates the Royal Visit of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Southern Africa. The design features finely engraved portraits of Their Majesties beneath a royal crown, flanked by stylized palm motifs. This issue formed part of a coordinated series released across several British colonies marking the same royal tour. Collectors value it for its crisp typography, dignified engraving, and historical association with the post-war royal goodwill journey through the Commonwealth.
