About the former British-Commonwealth's currencies.
Do you know the meaning of the symbol "d" as part of the value on this South-African stamp ?
Before South-Africa became independant in 1961, its currency, like that of Britain, was:
£
(pounds) derived from the Latin word Librae,
S
(schilling) derived from the Latin word Solidi and
d
(pence) derived from the Latin word Denarii.
