A stamp, known simply as Post Office Mauritius, or Mauritius Post Office, which were first produced in 1847.
There are two versions of these stamps, one in orange and one in blue. The orange stamp would have cost you a penny, and the blue stamp would have cost you two pence.
They were originally issued by Mauritius, which was a British Colony that is now known as an independent island nation.
This stamp was one of the first British postage stamps that were produced outside of the actual country, and it’s suspected that no more than 30 of these stamps are still existing today.
These stamps are pretty famous for being some of the most rare of all time, and both of these stamps on cover sold for a whopping $4 million back in 1993.
