This $1 specimen stamp from Niuafoʻou (Kingdom of Tonga) celebrates the centenary of the world-famous “Tin Can Mail” service.

Issued as part of a commemorative series, the overprinted “SPECIMEN” indicates a non-postal sample distributed for reference or collectors. The pale turquoise background with bold magenta and black inscriptions evokes a classic cartographic style.
