There are several types of 'prototypes.'

Essays - Drawings and sketches showing the stamp design. Used for the initial approval process, they serve as a basis for the engraver to create the plates for the printing.

Proof - This is a print, usually a single image taken from the original engraving. It is often done in several colors and are reviewed by the officials to approve it.
