Revenue stamps of Basutoland and Lesotho
Basutoland, now known as Lesotho, first issued revenue stamps in 1900 and continues to do so.[1]
Basutoland
Basutoland's first revenues were issued in 1900. From that year until 1913, various revenues of the
Queen Elizabeth II and the colony's coat of arms were issued, and in 1961 these were overprinted in the new currency, the South African rand. Later that year similar designs inscribed in rand instead of just overprinted were issued, and a further surcharge was issued around 1967.[1]
Lesotho
Basutoland became independent as Lesotho in 1966. A year later, the country's first revenues were issued, with the main design being the coat of arms. These continued to be used for many years, until around 2006 a new design featuring a bird was issued. These remain in use to this day.[1]
