Comment
The centenary stamp is based on the original red 1d George V stamp design that was first issued in a limited-edition intaglio version on 9 December 1913. The letterpress red 1d version was issued on 17 July 1914 and replaced the 1d Kangaroo and Map stamp. The stamp-coin set features the 2014 red 70c stamp.
