New Zealand - Victory
Immediately following the cessation of hostilities in November 1918 a
request was made to the Post and Telegraph Department to issue a set of
stamps to commemorate the declaration of peace. The suggestion was
adopted that same month and resulted in the issuance of a set six stamps. The 1/2 pence shown here depicts the lady victory with a lion to represent the British empire. The lion is modeled after the ones in Trafalgar Square, London.
Perforations: 14
Date of Issue: January 27, 1920
