Issued in 1929, the £1 PUC stamp was the second commemorative stamp to be released after the British Empire Exhibition stamps of 1924/25. Designed by Harold Nelson, the £1 is regarded as one of the most striking stamps ever to have been issued – it features an intricate design of Saint George and the Dragon accompanied by a portrait of King George V.

The stamps were issued to mark the meeting of the Universal Postal Union in London on 10 May 1929.

I re-imagined this stamp in the colours – i thought it would be if it were printed in colour.
