The star and crescent illustrating
stamp were the earliest stamps of Brunei. They were issued in the year 1895.
These stamps come with different colours and denominations.
Located on the north coast in Southeast Asia, Brunei had become a
British protectorate, in 1888.
Earlier, Brunei used the stamps of Sarawak. Official national
stamps were issued in 1895 and were produced in Glasgow. As the stamps could
only be used in Brunei they were referred to as ‘locals’.
The stamps got their name because the main theme of the stamps is
a radiant star and an inverted crescent. They depict a picturesque landscape of
a river and a hill with two coconut trees.
