Item Description

1879 Mauritius 39 Cents Queen Victoria Insurance Revenue Used
Insurance (1869-1904)
The first insurance stamps of Mauritius were issued on 1 March 1869. They were Queen Victoria postage stamps handstamped INCE in black. From later that year to 1879, all insurance stamps were internal revenue stamps handstamped or overprinted INCE, sometimes the stamps were also surcharged. In 1879 a new set of internal revenue stamps but in new colours was overprinted INSURANCE in black. In 1904 a new type appeared, similar to the design used for high value postage stamps, but with a blank value tablet and in purple. These were then overprinted INSURANCE ONLY and the value. Three different formats exist. Wikipedia
