Belgium Postage Due Stamp, Green

Belgium · 1895 · 10c

This is a definitive postage due stamp from Belgium, issued to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. The design is purely functional, featuring a large numeral '10' for the centime value, framed by ornate typographic elements. The bilingual inscription 'A PERCEVOIR / TE BETALEN' (To Be Collected) is prominent at the top and bottom.

Issued in the late 19th century, this stamp reflects the standardized postal systems developing across Europe, where collecting underpaid postage became a routine administrative function.
