British stamps were first used in the colonies of Jamaica on May 8, 1858. Jamaica gained its own stamps in 1860 with values having different colours from one – six pence and one shilling which bore the head of Queen Victoria, the reigning monarch. There was also the introduction of the half-penny stamp (stamp cut diagonally). The first pictorial stamp was in1900, unpopular at first, then reissued in black and red the next year.
