The George V Keyplate 1912 to 1931
Threepence Value
As the Victorian master 3d duty die was re-used, the font on the new 120-set plate is identical. The new duty
plate is however readily distinguishable on marginal stamps by the double marginal rule, i.e. one from the
keyplate and one from the duty plate.
5 December 1927 - Die II 3d used on letter from Freetown to Reims, France. 3d rate to foreign UPU countries.
