King George V had only been on the throne for five months when the first definitive series bearing his portrait appeared. Long before stamps of the new reign were issued in Great Britain itself, or in its dominions such as Canada or New Zealand, they made their debut in Rhodesia. The series, which became known and loved as the 'Double Heads', was one of the most beautiful of the period. The series of stamps was also notable for comprising the very first stamps inscribed with that country's name.
