Stamp

From Wikinfo

A stamp is a distinctive mark or impression made upon an object, for instance those made on a piece of paper and used to indicate the prepayment of a fee or tax.

The postage stamp is the most familiar type of stamp.

Revenue stamps are often used on documents; they are superficially similar to postage stamps, but may have very high denominations.
