This stamp is a postage due issue from Argentina, featuring a simple, functional design.

The words 'TASA' (Tax/Fee) and 'CENTAVO' are prominently displayed, clearly identifying its purpose for collecting insufficient postage.

Issued at the turn of the millennium, this postage due stamp reflects a period of economic instability in Argentina, which would culminate in the great depression of 2001. Such functional, low-denomination stamps were essential for the daily operations of the postal service.
