Revenue stamps of the British Solomon Islands

Map of the British Solomon Islands

Revenue stamps of the British Solomon Islands, now known as the Solomon Islands, were first issued in around 1926 when the islands were a British protectorate. The only revenue stamps issued by the islands were British embossed adhesives overprinted BRITISH SOLOMON ISLANDS in three lines. Five stamps are recorded: two versions of a 1s value issued in 1926 and 1931, and £5, £10 and £50 values issued in 1964.[1] All are rare and command high prices.[2]

The British Solomon Islands also used dual-purpose postage and revenue stamps.[1]

No post-independence issues are recorded from the Solomon Islands.
