Cape of Good Hope issued revenue stamps from 1864 to 1961. There were a number of different stamps for several taxes.〔 ==Cape Colony== The Cape Colony's first revenues were issued in 1864. The issue consisted of eleven values ranging from ½d to £10. All stamps were imperforate and the main design was a crown. The halfpenny value was printed normally, while the other values were embossed in colour. This was replaced by an issue portraying Queen Victoria a year later. There are two types, either inscribed ''The Stamp Act of 1864 Cape of Good Hope'' or ''Government of Cape of Good Hope''. There are several variations in perforation and watermark, as this issue remained in use for over thirty years until the end of the nineteenth century. Between 1870 and 1887, a smaller version of this design inscribed ''Cape of Good Hope Stamp Duty'' was also issued. In 1898 a new design portraying an allegorical figure of Hope was issued, with sixteen values ranging from 1d to £20. This remained in use until a new issue appeared in 1903 portraying King Edward VII, and this remained in use until being incorporated into the Union of South Africa in 1910.〔 In 1879, Queen Victoria revenues were overprinted INSURANCE in blue. These are rare and overprints are also known inverted. Various King Edward VII postage stamps were also overprinted for various types of revenue: *Cigarette Duty (1909) *Customs Duty (1902) *Patent and Proprietary (1909) Apart from these, a new design for Patent and Proprietary was issued between 1909 and 1910 for medicine duty before the Act was repealed in 1911. When it was a colony, the Cape of Good Hope also issued a wide range of impressed duty stamps.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revenue stamps of the Cape of Good Hope」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
