Antigua stamps

Antigua is an island of the West Indies, Leeward group, north of Guadeloupe and Montserrat. The islands of Barbuda and Redonda were attached to it.

As a British colony, it has issued its own stamps since 1862. Leeward stamps issued from 1890 to 1954 were valid at the same time as those of Antigua.

Since 1981, the country is an independent parliamentary monarchy member of the Commonwealth. Shortly after independence, the stamps bore the full name of Antigua and Barbuda.
