Revenue stamps of Bechuanaland

Bechuanaland first issued revenue stamps as Stellaland in 1884. Bechuanaland was split into British Bechuanaland and the Bechuanaland Protectorate. British Bechuanaland was added to the Cape Colony and the Bechuanaland Protectorate was governed from Mafeking until the seat of government was moved to Gaberone. The Bechuanaland Protectorate, now known as Botswana, continued to issue revenue stamps until 1976.
