Abu Dhabi Postage Due Stamp, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

Abu Dhabi · 1967 · 10 Fils

This postage due stamp features a portrait of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi and the future first president of the United Arab Emirates. The design is simple, focusing on the Sheikh's portrait, with the denomination and country name in both Arabic and English. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment for insufficient postage from the recipient.

Issued in 1967, this stamp represents a period of significant transition for Abu Dhabi, just a few years before it became the capital of the newly formed United Arab Emirates in 1971 under Sheikh Zayed's leadership.
