 | | The Bechuanaland Protectorate (BP) was a protectorate established on March 31, 1885 by Britain in southern Africa. |
 | | Stamps were issued for the Royal Visit in 1947, and for the usual omnibus sets of the period. |
 | | Three stamps in 1960 commemorated the 75th anniversary of the protectorate, then in 1961 Bechuanaland converted to the South African rand, necessitating surcharges on the existing definitives in February, followed by a new definitive series in October that was mostly pictures of birds, with some showing people at work. |
