    100 pounds in 1925, what was that for? Posting an elephant?

    Meh! I am a paid up member of the 'Paper is Paper' club, a bit like the 'Silver is silver' club but we really hate premiums.

    Close - high-value stamps like this were apparently used to indicate fees had been paid for big game hunting licenses: http://www.postalmuseum.si.edu/queen's/rarities.html
