A privately run packet service for mail existed in British Guiana in 1796, and continued for a number of years. Postage stamps of Britain were used in those days at Georgetown (Demerara) and Berbice. The first adhesive stamps produced by British Guiana were issued in 1850. British Guiana is famous among philatelists for its early postage stamps, some of them considered to be among the rarest, most expensive stamps in the world. These include the unique British Guiana 1c magenta from 1856, which sold in 1980 for close to $1 million.

  • История почты и почтовых марок Британской Гвианы описывает развитие почтовой связи в Британской Гвиане, колонии Великобритании на северо-восточном побережье Южной Америки c 1831 года до 26 мая 1966 года, когда она приобрела независимость под названием Гайаны. Британская Гвиана известна среди филателистов своими первыми почтовыми марками, выходившими с 1850 года, некоторые из которых считаются одними из самых редких и самых дорогих марок в мире. К ним относится уникальная «Британская Розовая Гвиана» — почтовая марка Британской Гвианы 1856 года, карминового цвета и номиналом в 1 цент. (ru)

  • A privately run packet service for mail existed in British Guiana in 1796, and continued for a number of years. Postage stamps of Britain were used in those days at Georgetown (Demerara) and Berbice. The first adhesive stamps produced by British Guiana were issued in 1850.

These include the unique British Guiana 1c magenta from 1856, which sold in 1980 for close to $1 million. In June 2014 the 1856 British Guiana one-cent magenta stamp was sold at auction in New York, to an anonymous bidder, for $9.5m (£5.6m) at auction in New York, a world record. (en)
