Item Description

The item in this listing is a single postally used stamp issued by Hawai`i in 1871. 2012 CV $37.50

The stamp is typically centered for the issue, and has a ver small tear at bottom right near thenumber "18".

The history of the stamp is as follows:

This stamp shows the portrait of Mataio Kekuanaoa, the last Kuhina Nui (Prime Minister) of Hawai`i and the father of two Hawaiian monarchs-Kings Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V.

Scott #34 was issued following a new postal treaty between Hawai`i and the United States, which set postage rates at 6 cents per ounce. It would have paid for three ounce letters sent to the USA, and as such saw little use. 18 cents was a lot of money at the time. Following Hawaiian admission to the UPU, this stamp was rendered obsolete as all international postal rates were in multiples of 5 cents not 6.
