Fife stamps at two Mini Sheets are issued by Togo's Post Authority, depicting Charles Darwin and various dinosaurs on a background. Paleontology was not a main, if at all, area of interest for Charles Darwin.
Moreover most of the species depicting there were discovered many years after death of Charles Darwin (1882): Tyranosaurs discovered in 1905, Zuniceratops discovered in 1996, Muttaburrasaurus in 1987.
Only Stegosaurus and Archaeopteryx were known when Charles Darwin was alive.
Hard to believe all of these stamps are required for post uses of the country. You can see the flood of minisheets of the country on PostBeeld or Neofila sites.
