This classic stamp from the Kingdom of Hanover features the left-facing profile of King George V of Hanover (1819–1878), the last monarch before Prussia annexed the state in 1866. Printed in green with a lined background, it displays the inscription “HANNOVER” at the base. Issued during the mid-19th century, these stamps are part of the celebrated German States period and remain a cornerstone of classic philatelic collections. The distinct cancellation marks add postal history value, making this a fine example of early European issues.
