A lot of ten definitive postage stamps from the Uganda Protectorate, issued between 1898 and 1902. Item Details Scott Catalog Numbers: 69-78 Denominations: 1/2a, 1a (two shades), 2a, 2 1/2a, 3a, 4a, 8a, 1r, 5r Subject: Queen Victoria Year of Issue: 1898-1902 Condition: Mint, Lightly Hinged (MLH). Inscription: POSTAGE & REVENUE Historical Context This definitive series was the first to be inscribed "UGANDA PROTECTORATE." The designs feature a portrait of Queen Victoria and imagery symbolic of the region, including elephants and lions. The 1/2 Anna and 2 1/2 Annas values are overprints on stamps of British East Africa, reflecting the administrative links between the territories at the time. The inscription "POSTAGE & REVENUE" indicates that these stamps were dual-purpose, valid for paying both postal fees and certain government taxes or duties. The Uganda Protectorate was a protectorate of the British Empire from 1894 to 1962, when it gained independence as Uganda. Combined Shipping We offer combined shipping.
