Uganda Protectorate Queen Victoria 1 Anna
Uganda · 1898 · 1 Anna
This definitive stamp features a portrait of Queen Victoria, facing left, within an ornate frame. The inscription 'UGANDA PROTECTORATE' is prominently displayed at the top, with the denomination 'ONE ANNA' at the bottom. The design is typical of British colonial issues of the late 19th century, emphasizing the authority of the British Crown.
Issued in 1898, this stamp was part of the first definitive series for the Uganda Protectorate, which was established in 1894. The use of Indian currency (Annas and Rupees) reflects the administrative influence of British India in the region at the time.
