Zimbabwe 1970 (4th June) Rhodesia 2½¢ & 5¢ defins on cover to Jersey with boxed green tax cachet (1/9 & 1/- plus 3 x 3d Jersey PD's) from the period of Postal Sanctions on Southern Rhodesia for its unilateral declaration of independence from the UK. Instructional label in red on reverse reads "The Government has announced that stamps issued in Rhodesia of the kind used on this postal packet have no legal basis. This packet is accordingly surcharged". Such covers to England are relatively common but not so common to the Channel Islands.
