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.')

('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.

About 15 different stamps were issued in the above design.

In 1900 a stamp with inscription 'Discount Stamp' was issued in the colour grey and value 1/4 p. Sorry, no picture available yet.
