Canada Postage Due Stamp, J1
Canada · 1876 · 1¢
This is one of Canada's first postage due stamps, issued in 1876. The design is simple and functional, featuring a large numeral '1' to indicate the one-cent amount due, framed by ornate scrollwork. The text 'CANADA POSTAGE DUE' is prominently displayed at the top.
Postage due stamps were introduced to collect payment for mail that was sent with insufficient postage. This series marked the formalization of that process within the Canadian postal system.
