The Kionga Triangle was a tiny territory on the border between German East Africa
(present-day United Republic of Tanzania)
and the Portuguese colony of Mozambique
(present day Republic of Mozambique),
originally German, but occupied by Portuguese forces in 1916.
On May 29, 1916,
100-reis postage stamps from Lourenço Marques were overprinted with "KIONGA"
and one of the denominations ½c, 1c, 2½c, and 5c.
These were the only stamps issued for Kionga.
In 2002, the Scott Catalogue listed the average purchase price of a high-quality set as over US$70.
