Mauritius

An island in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. Attained self-government on 1 September 1967, and became independent on 12 March 1968.

Oldest stamp of Mauritius in my collection is the 1910 Coat of arms, 2c stamp.

1953 Definitives with portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

One stamp from the 1965 Birds set.

5 stamps of the six 1968 Independence set.

8 stamps of the 1969 Marine life set.
