Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) first issued stamps in 1857, when under British rule.Since then,Sri Lanka has regained independence (1948) and in 1972 became a Republic state. Sri Lanka has been described by Marco Polo and other famous travellers as the most beautiful place on earth. Her stamps have also reflected her beauty and cultural diversity. Most spectacular of all Sri Lanka's stamps are her stamp errors, my speciality.
