East Africa And Uganda Protectorates




The administration issued Postage Stamp s with the profile of King Edward VII and inscribed "EAST AFRICA AND UGANDA PROTECTORATES" in 1903 . The same basic design was used throughout the period, with new Watermark and colours in 1904 and 1907 , respectively, and the substitution of King George V in 1912 . The 6c stamp was surcharged 4c in 1919 .

While the lower-denomination stamps are common, stamps of up to 500 rupees were sold, primarily for use as Revenue Stamp s. Postal usages of the higher values are scarce and valuable.
