• 5p – Elephant Seal: A mother and pup resting on the golden sands, representing the island’s marine giants.

• 10p – Fur Seal: A pair of seals basking on rocky shores, reflecting the thriving seal colonies around Tristan.

Each stamp features a finely drawn wildlife vignette set within an oval frame, topped with the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, marking it as part of Tristan da Cunha’s British Overseas Territory issues.
