Postage stamps and postal history of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

1938 stamps of St. Vincent.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a former British colony in the Windward Islands, has produced stamps since 8 May 1861.[1][2] The stamps featured either the British monarch’s head on them or the ER monogram and crown until around 1970.[3] The stamps were printed with just "St. Vincent" until 1992 when the stamps began to print the full country name, "St. Vincent and the Grenadines".

Since around 1988, the country has been a client of the Inter-Governmental Philatelic Corporation.[4]
