First stamps
The first Montserrat stamps in 1876 were red 1d. and green 6d. stamps of Antigua overprinted MONTSERRAT. The first definitives were issued in 1880.

Leeward Islands issues
Montserrat used stamps of the Leeward Islands between 1890 and 1903. In 1903, a new set of definitives depicting the coat of arms of Montserrat was issued. Stamps of the Leeward Islands were used concurrently with those of Montserrat until 1956.
