This Antigua 3-cent commemorative stamp, issued in 1951, honors the founding of the University College of the West Indies (now UWI). The design features the institution’s heraldic arms with a pelican crest and the Latin motto Oriens Ex Occidente Lux (“A Light Rising from the West”), symbolizing higher learning in the Caribbean. Printed in a refined two-tone brown and black engraving, it reflects the classic colonial typography and portrait-free academic theme of early 1950s British West Indies issues. A desirable item for collectors specializing in Caribbean education commemoratives, Antigua KGVI period issues, or university-themed philately.
