If I am right this stamp should be Fiji #57 (Scott number), 2 1/2p, issued 1891. But, it upside is a wide imperf.margin, instead of perfs, while others three sides are perfs.

I am bewildered. Who could tell me something about this stamp?

Thank you

Your stamp has come from the edge of the sheet. This is known as a 'wing' margin and these are generally worth less than the 'normal' stamp perforated all the way around.

On Victorian era stamps 'wing' margins are fairly common.
