    1962: Unissued 5 s. 'Patrolman', multicoloured, fresh and very fine, unmounted og. An extremely rare stamp with just 60 stamps issued in error.rnrnNote: The 5 s. Patrolman value was due to be issued in September 1962 alongside the 3 s. (Gi 32), the Stamp Committee deemed the image of an indigenous Patrolman carrying a rifle was unsuitable for the times. One single sheet of 60 stamps in known to have passed into circulation: thus this stamp represents the rarest and most historically significant stamp of the period.
