Collection: Solomon Islands

Solomon Islands – Stamps from the South Pacific

The Solomon Islands, an archipelago of more than 900 islands in the South Pacific, has issued postage stamps since 1907—when it was a British Protectorate known as the British Solomon Islands. Early issues feature classic colonial designs, including depictions of King Edward VII and King George V, and later showcase themes of local culture, marine life, and natural beauty.

This collection includes a variety of Solomon Islands stamps—from the elegant definitives of the colonial era to the vibrant commemoratives of modern independence. Whether you're a specialist in British Commonwealth philately or a collector of Pacific Island nations, these stamps offer a rich window into the region's history, biodiversity, and cultural heritage.
