Collectible Stamps from Cameroon

Cameroon became a German Protectorate in 1884 and used the postage stamps of Germany in 1897 and 1900 overprinted with Kamerun

In 1922 Britain and France were granted separate United Nations mandates. When the French mandate of Cameroun became an independent republic in 1960, in September 1961, following a plebiscite, the British mandate joined the Republic of Cameroon. For some time stamps of Nigeria were also overprinted with Cameroon. In 1995, the Republic joined the British Commonwealth
