British Commonwealth

British Commonwealth
British Commonwealth postage stamps is a specialised area of philately, focused on the postage stamps of countries administered and / or linked with the British Empire.
These stamps are extremely popular as philatelists can specialise on the whole range of postage stamps issued for the whole Commonwealth, or in areas such as stamps issued under Queen Victoria, King George the Fifth, or Queen Elizabeth II.

Here are a few examples of postage stamps of the British Commonwealth:


The famous Black Penny	The Red Penny	10 Cents Tanganyika (1922)

British Somaliland (India's 2 Annas)	Canada's 5 Cents (Centenary)	British Antarctic Territory's Half Pence
