France 1970 Postage Due Stamp

France · 1970 · 1f

This postage due stamp features a large, stylized numeral '1' indicating its face value of 1 franc. The design is simple and functional, with 'TAXE A PERCEVOIR' (Tax to be Collected) inscribed at the top and 'POSTES' at the bottom, all set against a plain background.

Issued in 1970, this stamp was part of a series used by the French postal service to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a mail item. This design replaced an earlier series and was a common sight on mail for several years.
