Welcome to Gibraltar-Stamps.com

This year marks the 125th Anniversary of Gibraltar stamps. The first Gibraltar stamp was issued on the 1st January 1886 when the Colonial Government of Gibraltar assumed control of its Postal Services. As an interim measure, Bermuda stamp plates were overprinted with ‘Gibraltar’ using different colours. These were replaced by Gibraltar’s own design in December of that same year.

This is a major milestone for Gibraltar and world philately which we are celebrating with several local stamp exhibitions and importantly, a commemorative stamp issue.

The 125th Anniversary of Gibraltar stamps feature iconic stamps issued during five reigns: the 1886 Queen Victoria Bermuda overprint one shilling; the 1903 King Edward VII one pound; the 1926 King George V five pounds; the 1938 King George VI one pound and the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II half shilling. These and the complete archive of Gibraltar stamps issued over the past 125 years are included in the The ‘Historic Stamps’ section of this site.

Finally, thank you very much for collecting Gibraltar stamps and we hope you enjoy browsing through our website.
