UNITED KINGDOM
The United Kingdom was the first country to issue postage stamps. Since no other country issued stamps at the time, there was no need for the UK to name itself.

A KANGAROO ON A MAP OF AUSTRALIA
The Kangaroo issue was re-issued many times with the final issue appearing in 1945. King George made his appearance in a long-running issue in 1914. The 'Arms' series was released in 1950 and consisted of four high face-value stamps. Queen Victoria died in 1900 and was featured on many stamps issued by the individual states. (Australia was not proclaimed as a country until 1901)

With 240 pence to the pound, a pane of 240 stamps made a great deal of sense.
