The 1847 and 1851 stamps are obsolete as well as all issued prior to 1861. A new series of stamps was issued in 1861, and another in 1869, both of which have given place to the present issue adopted in 1870.
The denominations and descriptions of the present series of ordinary stamps are as follows :-
