About this stamp

On the Stamp

The head and spiralling horns of a blackbuck, printed in sepia, with “Blackbuck” in Hindi and English, on a 25 paise definitive.

Blackbuck

India Post issued this 25 paise definitive on 20 July 2000; Colnect records it as printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with the Asokan Capital. The blackbuck is a medium-sized antelope of India and Nepal, living on grassy plains and in lightly wooded country with water all the year round. No India Post brochure for this stamp is online, so this text draws on Wikipedia, Colnect and the stamp itself.
