Description

Fiji – Scott #866 (Used)

Fiji Scott #866 is a $2 commemorative stamp issued in 1999 to mark the 125th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (1874–1999). The design features a historic sugar mill passenger train, a narrow-gauge steam locomotive once used to transport workers and goods through Fiji’s sugar cane fields. This imagery reflects both Fiji’s postal history and the central role of sugar production in the nation’s economic development.

The detailed illustration captures the locomotive in motion amid tall cane, emphasizing industry, transportation, and communication. By pairing a local industrial scene with the UPU anniversary, the stamp connects Fiji’s internal infrastructure to the broader global postal network.

This example is used, with visible cancellation, and is an excellent addition to collections focused on Fiji, railways, industrial history, UPU commemoratives, or transportation-themed stamps.
