Another West Indian colony, Grenada used the Chalon portrait. There is a more expensive blue green variant (Sg1, Sc1a). Scott makes the usual distinction between Charity and War Tax stamps.
Grenada gained independence in 1974.
Greece’s #1 was issued on 1st October 1861. The same design was used until 1885 and the differences over those twenty-five years are too nuanced to concern me and so an 1882 SG62 Sc43c is shown.
