Malaya : Johore - Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (1953) Cover by British Philatelic Association
Private first day cover issued by British Philatelic Association and the Philatelic Traders' Society.
No known official first day known for this commemorative issue.
QUEEN ELIZABETH II
The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on 2 June 1953. Elizabeth ascended the thrones of these countries at age 25, upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952, and was proclaimed queen by her various privy and executive councils shortly afterwards. The coronation was delayed for more than a year because of the tradition that such a festival was inappropriate during the period of mourning that followed the death of the preceding sovereign.
