The Republic of Seychelles is an island country in the Indian Ocean situated 1500km east of Tanzania consisting of about 115 islands. Its capital is Victoria. It proclaimed independence from the United Kingdom in 1976. Under one-party rule for 16 years, it became a multi-party democracy in 1993.
The first post office was opened at Victoria in 1861 and until 1890, stamps of Mauritius were used. Thereafter Seychelles issued its own stamps with a portrait of Queen Victoria. British monarchs were used predominantly on the stamps until independence in 1976 when the head of Queen Elizabeth II or the initials E.II R. were dropped.
