Two Pence 1847 Mauritius, unused
An unused Two Pence Post Office Mauritius, widely regarded as the finest unused example (of four) to have survived. It is looked upon as the best stamp in the Royal Philatelic Collection. The Post Office Mauritius stamps were the first official issue of postage stamps by a British Colony, and are so called because they bear the words "Post Office" rather than "Postage Paid."
