This classic 1903 Antigua stamp, denominated One Penny, features the island’s colonial Coat of Arms in a rich bicolored design — a red frame surrounding a finely engraved brown central vignette. The emblem depicts the British royal arms above a medallion of Antigua’s harbor scene, symbolizing its ties to both the Crown and the Caribbean landscape. Issued during the reign of King Edward VII, this stamp served dual purposes as Postage and Revenue, a common practice in British colonies of the era. Collectors value this issue for its detailed craftsmanship and historical representation of early 20th-century colonial philately.
