The Blue Mauritius with a portrait of Queen Victoria is the most popular stamp in the world. The stamp was issued in 1847 in the nominal value of 2 pence. The text POST OFFICE was accidentally engraved on the left edge instead of POST PAID. Of the 2 pence denomination, 4 unused and 8 used specimens have survived.
