Trinidad and Tobago 1956 Queen Elizabeth II Imperial College Overprint

Name: Trinidad and Tobago 1956 Queen Elizabeth II Imperial College Overprint
Brand: Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago · 1956 · 1 Cent

A stamp from Trinidad and Tobago featuring a profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the left and the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture on the right. The original 2 Cents denomination is overprinted with 'ONE CENT' in bold black letters.

This overprint likely reflects a change in postal rates or a temporary shortage of 1 Cent stamps in Trinidad and Tobago in 1956. The Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture, established in 1922, was a significant institution for agricultural research and education in the British Empire.
