Western Australia 1d Savings Stamp on Card
Western Australia · 1882 · 1d
The stamp features the text 'WESTERN AUSTRALIA' at the top, 'ONE PENNY' prominently in the center, and 'SAVINGS BANK' at the bottom, all within a simple rectangular frame.
This savings stamp card represents an early initiative by the Western Australian colonial government to encourage thrift and savings, particularly among schoolchildren, through the use of dedicated savings bank stamps.
