In 1923 the New Zealand Government decided that it was time
to restore universal penny postage following its suspension in 1915. The
map stamp was issued to commemorate this. Strangely, however, the one penny
dominion remained on sale and continued to be used after the map stamp was
withdrawn from sale.
The map stamp was the first and only stamp
impression to appear preprinted on postal stationery until the
1980s.
