Ethiopia Postage Due Stamp
Ethiopia · 1908 · 1/4 G
This is a postage due stamp from the Ethiopian Empire, featuring the denomination '1/4 G' (Guerche) prominently in the center. The design is simple and functional, with the value surrounded by decorative elements and inscriptions in Amharic script.
Issued under the reign of Emperor Menelik II, these stamps were used to collect payment for insufficient postage on mail. This series was printed in Harrar and is known for its relatively crude typography compared to European-printed stamps of the era.
