This stamp has long held some curiosity for me. It is faded, from the country of Mauritius. Yet, it has a vivid 4 cents in rich violet color on the bottom. Hard to get a clearer picture of this stamp as the age has affected the integrity of the stamp. Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) off the south east coast of the African continent.[7] The country includes Mauritius, a mountainous sub-tropical island, the island of Rodrigues, 560 kilometres (350 mi) east of the principal island, the islands of Agaléga and theSaint Brandon Rocks. The islands of the Republic of Mauritius form part of the Mascarene Islands, which also include the neighbouring island of Réunion. The area of the country is 2040 km2, its capital is Port Louis.
From what I can tell, this stamp is from the 1900-1905 period...a definitive..coat of arms. As to inherent value...can't say.....any collectors out there? Make me an offer.
