Revenue stamps of the Falkland Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Falkland Islands issued very few revenue stamps, and did so between 1952 and 1996. The only special revenue stamps were for Old Age Pensions and Social Security. For other fiscal purposes, dual-purpose & revenue stamps were used.
The first Old Age Pensions stamp was the low values from the King George VI definitive set bisected and surcharged O.A.P. and a new value. These are very rare as probably very few were printed. From 1968 onwards a new design with the coat of arms of the colony was issued. This design was reprinted in decimal currency between 1971 and 1974, and some years later this issue was surcharged for new rates.
