Transkei Revenue Stamps, Coat of Arms

South Africa (Transkei) · 1988 · Various (14 values)

This is a complete set of 14 revenue stamps issued by the bantustan of Transkei. The design prominently features the Transkei coat of arms, which includes a bull's head, sorghum heads, a cogwheel, and two leopards, symbolizing agriculture, industry, and traditional authority. The motto 'Imbumba Yamanyama' (Unity is Strength) is displayed below.

These stamps were issued for fiscal purposes within Transkei, a nominally independent but internationally unrecognized bantustan created by South Africa during the apartheid era. Such issues highlight the administrative structures established by the apartheid government to enforce its policy of separate development.
