Notes
  1. Local rate proclaimed by the ordnance of 20/12/1875. Formerly mail circulated free. SP = Saint-Pierre IAC = Ile aux Chiens(Ile aux Marins), MIQ = Miquelon or Langlade.
  2. In effect the rate between St. Pierre was greater than the metropolitan interior rate ( 10 cts = 2 sous) from 16/04/1906 it was revalued at 10 cts.
  3. St.Pierre and Miquelon became Overseas Territories (T.O.M.)
  4. Introduction of the metropolitan franc ( 1fr.C.F.A = 0.02 fr) In reality there was no rate change.
  5. St. Pierre and Miquelon was an Overseas Department (D.O.M.) from July 19 1976. Metropolitan stamps were used.
  6. St. Pierre and Miquelon became a Territorial Unit from June 11 1985. Local stamp issues recommenced from February 04, 1986.
  7. Rate changes were not published.
