1867 India Postage Stamps Surcharged in Different Colours 1. September WM: 1 Perforation: 14
When the Settlements became a crown colony in 1867, they began issuing their own stamps, not least because they adopted a currency based on 96 cents to a silver dollar. Beginning on 1 September 1867, nine types in the existing stocks of Indian stamps were overprinted with a crown and a new value in cents.
They were Indian stamps overprinted with a crown and with various rates of postage. The first stamps that were issued with the inscription “Straits Settlements” were issued during December of 1867. Due to abrupt changes in postage rates, a series of overprints had to be created to handle the changes.
