Albania Postage Due Stamp

Albania · 1920 · 50 Qintar

This is a postage due stamp from Albania, intended to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. The design features the denomination '50' prominently in the center, surrounded by ornate scrollwork. The Albanian double-headed eagle coat of arms is visible at the top, with the word 'TAKSE' (TAX) inscribed below it.

Issued in 1920, this stamp is part of Albania's first set of postage due stamps, reflecting the establishment of a formal postal system after the country gained stability following World War I.
