| 55c | 04 Aug 09 | Chelonia mydas | Turtle swimming up and left. Inscribed "Cocos (Keeling) Islands" vertically along lower left margin and "Australia" in upper right corner. | Since Australia took over responsibility for postal services on Cocos (Keeling) Islands 1 January 1994 and since the names of both countries appear on this stamp, the stamp is cross referenced under both countries in this database. | ||||||||||
| 55c | 04 Aug 09 | Chelonia mydas | Identical in every way to stamp issued this date w/ "Australia" in upper right corner except on this stamp the word "Australia" is replaced with "Norfolk Island". | Since this stamp is inscribed both "Norfolk Island" and "Cocos (Keeling) Islands", it is being cross referenced under both countries in this database. | ||||||||||
