- Summary:
-
Samples of the sixteen national insurance stamps introduced in 1938 are presented behind window mattes in a blue pebbled fabric folder with gilt lettering on the front cover. The stamps are slightly smaller than the standard postage stamps of the time, and have face values from 6 pence to 39 shillings. They bear on the top the Australian coat of arms, and beneath this is a shield on which is shown the value of the stamp, the shield being surrounded by a scroll bearing the words "Health & Pensions Insurance". Each of the the various priced stamps are different colours, and the hgher value stamps have the amount printed in a contrasting colour, either red or black. These stamps were intended to be affixed to a payments card which was kept by the wages department of the employer. The design of the stamps as well as the scheme closely followed the British equivalent.
