Queen Victoria Revenue Stamp
Pakistan · 1947 · 1 A
This revenue stamp features a left-facing portrait of Queen Victoria, originally issued for British India. It was overprinted with the word 'PAKISTAN' in black ink following the Partition of India in 1947. The design is typical of British colonial fiscal issues, with intricate lathework framing the central portrait.
Issued immediately after the independence and partition of British India, these overprinted stamps were a provisional measure to provide valid postage and revenue instruments for the newly formed Dominion of Pakistan.
