Bophuthatswana Grasses Definitive Stamp Set (1984)

This is a collection of four postage stamps from the former South African bantustan of Bophuthatswana, issued around 1984. The set features delicate botanical illustrations of indigenous grasses. The denominations visible include 10c, 20c, 25c, and 40c. Each stamp is printed on white paper with fine lithographic detail, showcasing various grass species in muted shades of green, brown, and tan. The stamps are vertically oriented with a clean, modern typeface for the country name 'BOPHUTHATSWANA' and the scientific names of the plants at the bottom. The items appear to be in mint, never-hinged (MNH) condition, displayed within protective black mount strips on a white grid-lined stock page. The perforations are crisp and intact, showing no signs of tearing or uneven edges. There is no visible evidence of postmarks, foxing, or fading. These stamps were printed during the era when Bophuthatswana operated as an independent homeland (1977-1994) before being reintegrated into South Africa. The craftsmanship is high, typical of the high-quality printing standards maintained by the South African Government Printer for the homelands during that period.
