British colony
A British colony was established over Fiji in 1874. Previous issues of the Kingdom of Fiji were overprinted VR for "Victoria Regina", the royal cypher of Queen Victoria. Later issues had designs with a VR monogram. Stamps with designs common to the British colonies were issued in 1903. The first pictorial set was issued in 1938.
