If the proposed new duties had gone ahead, the above may represent an example of the designs
 

Many of the colonies in the early fifties issued new definitives showing an older king. It is accepted that St Helena was due to do so before the untimely death of George VI. In the Crown Agents Archives there existed a Box SA 7 which contained examples of these new duties. This, unfortunately, is no longer present within the archives but two members of the West African Study Circle, Philip Beale and Bernard Mabbett visited the British Library in October 1989 and on examining this recorded their findings. They deduced that the specimens in Box SA7 were the intended new duties, and I believe that the initial Queen Elizabeth definitives used these designs with the Queen's head inserted into each duty. Beale and Mabbett noted that most of the values existed in imperforate Blocks of 6 punctured 'specimen'. Below are other details of each value. These were to be printed by De La Rue.
