United Kingdom · 1970 · 10p

This stamp features a bold design with a large white numeral '10p' set against a carmine background, with the words 'TO PAY' prominently displayed below. It was part of a series issued to facilitate the transition to decimal currency in the United Kingdom.

Issued in 1970, these 'To Pay' stamps were used to collect underpaid postage from recipients, a common practice before the full decimalization of British currency in 1971. They represent a significant moment in the UK's monetary history.
