This stamp from Mauritius features the island’s national coat of arms, printed in green with the denomination 4 Cents at the bottom. The arms depict a ship, palm trees, a key, and a star with rays, symbolizing the island’s maritime importance, tropical resources, security, and aspirations. Issued during the late 19th to early 20th century under British colonial administration, it was part of the definitive series inscribed “Postage & Revenue.” The design reflects both utility for postal and fiscal purposes and the pride of the colony in its unique identity. Collectors value this issue for its detailed engraving and historical representation of Mauritius’ heraldry.
