(Reduced sizes)
Many values exist, varying from 1 p to 10 Pounds (often in two or more colours, or different value inscriptions).
It seems that values higher than 10 Pounds were printed on demand, example:
(An extremely high value: 'Twenty-two thousand six hundred and
sixty-severn pounds.')

For more infomation about these Stamp Duties, the interested reader is referred to the Forbin catalogue or the Barefoot catalogue of British Commonwealth Revenues.
('STAMP DUTY N.Z.', 1 p lilac, issued in 1878)
The above stamp also exists in 1 p blue. The 1 p blue exists postally used (this was authorised by the authorities in 1882). It seems that a very limited amount of 1 p lilac stamps was also used postally.
In this design (with surcharge, 1940), I have also seen the values: '3/6' on 3 Sh 6 p green, '5/6' on 5 Sh 6 p lilac, '11/-' on 11 Sh yellow, '22/-' on 22 Sh red.
Without overprint I have seen the values: 1 Sh 3
p yellow, 1 Sh 3 p yellow and black (value in black), 2 Sh 6 p
brown, 4 Sh red, 5 Sh green, 6 Sh red, 7 Sh blue, 8 Sh violet, 9
Sh orange, 10 Sh red, 15 Sh olive, 1 Pound red, 3 Pounds green
and 10 Dollars blue.
The values 7 Sh 6 p green, 12 Sh 6 p lilac (1935), 2 Pounds lilac
and 5 Pounds blue should also exist.
If I'm well informed these fiscal stamps could also be used for
postal purposes.
Overprinted 'SAMOA' and 'WESTERN SAMOA' for use as postage stamps
in Samoa

These stamps were issued in 1877 and exist in the following values: 1 Sh, 2 Sh, 3 Sh, 4 Sh, 5 Sh, 6 Sh, 8 Sh, 10 Sh, 15 Sh, 20 Sh, 3 Pounds, 5 Pounds and 10 Pounds.
(Beer duty)
About 15 different stamps were issued in the above design.
Besides the 6 p blue stamp, I have also seen a 4 Sh 6 p red in a similar design. The values 9 p yellow, 1 Sh 3 p red, 2 Sh 6 p green, 6 Sh 9 p olive, 7 Sh violet, 7 Sh 6 p brown, 9 Sh green and 13 Sh brown should also exist.
The values 6 p blue, 9 p yellow, 1 Sh 3 p and 6 Sh 9 p olive were reprinted in 1979 on a souvenir sheet containing all four values for the 'Stamp Week 20-26 August'.
In 1900 a stamp with inscription 'Discount Stamp' was issued in the colour grey and value 1/4 p.
