… Four Stamps : 3d (101a), 4d (101b), 8d (101c), 1/6 (101d) |
These stamps were issued to be used in the special Post
Office (actually a tent) established in Ross Dependency by Sir Edmund
Hillary as part of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The stamps
were intended to help support New Zealand's claim of sovereignty over
the Dependency.
The stamps continued in use and were decimalised in
the 1967 Ross
Dependency Decimal Pictorials issue with the same designs.
The 8
penny stamp is available in two varieties with differing shades of blue -
in this illustration Cerulean blue (101c2) is on the left and Ultramarine
blue (101c1) is on the right.
