I am constantly surprised by the vast variety of topics and themes depicted on stamps! However, I haven't seen any unicorns yet. Are there any unicorn stamps??

Any stamp with the coat-of-arms of the UK. One of the shield bearers is a unicorn.

Here is the 1st class rate "Unicorns" stamp (SG #2945) from Great Britain's June 16, 2009 Mythical Creatures set of six. Second pic shows one of a se-tenant strip of five 26p Order of the Garter values. The stamp (SG #2030), features the Unicorn of Scotland.

Just for the fun.
Raphael (or one of his disciples) painted "the lady and the unicorn"
In this painting the tiny unicorn is supposed to be a symbol for chastity.
This painting appears on at least seven postage stamps and maybe someone will add one or two more.

Stamps from Ecuador (1967),Hungary (1983) and Gabon (1983)





From the Arabian Peninsula : Upper Yafa (1967), Kingdom of Yemen , and Yemen Arab Republic (1968)




And last but not least a stamp from Italy (1999) with the lady but without the unicorn !

Russian military history has its own Unicorn: guns introduced into artillery by Count Peter Ivanovich Shuvalov. These guns were distinguished by their light weight and high firing range. Unicorns were depicted on the guns as part of the Shuvalov family coat of arms.
