List of people on stamps of Penrhyn

The first stamps issued by this tiny island in the Northern Cook Islands were stamps of New Zealand overprinted "Penrhyn Island" in 1902. It continued to use its own stamps until 1932. This first short list is from stamps in that early period.

*James Cook (1920)
*Edward VII of the United Kingdom (1914)
*George V of the United Kingdom (1917)
*Te Po (1927)

Between 1932 and 1973 Penrhyn used the stamps of the Cook Islands. It resumed the use of its own stamps in 1973, and continues to do so.
