Ghana 1959 Postage Due Stamps

Ghana · 1959 · 1/2d & 1d

This is a set of two postage due stamps issued by Ghana in 1959. The design is simple and functional, featuring the denomination prominently within an ornamental frame, typical for postage due issues of the era. The stamps are printed in a single color, carmine for the 1/2d and blue for the 1d.

Issued shortly after Ghana gained independence in 1957, these stamps represent the new nation's developing postal system and its need to collect underpaid postage from mail recipients.
