What information does a stamp give?
Information printed on stamps varies enormously from country to country and even within some countries. There are two things a postage stamp will have as a minimum based on the IPU requirements: 1) an indication of country of origin - this is most commonly shown by the country name appearing on the stamp but in a few cases it may be indicated some other way. For example British stamps have no country name but incorporate an image of the reigning British monarch into the design of every stamp. 2) a postal value - i.e. a figure indicating the amount of postal credit you have purchased. If there is no postal value, it is quite possible what you have is not a postage stamp at all.
