Dutch East Indies King Willem III

Dutch East Indies · 1870 · 10c

This stamp features a right-facing portrait of King Willem III of the Netherlands. The design is framed by an ornate oval, with the denomination '10 CENT' at the bottom and 'NEDERL. INDIE' inscribed at the top. This issue was the first to replace the King's profile with a full-face portrait for the Dutch East Indies.

Issued in 1870, this stamp was part of the second series for the Dutch East Indies, reflecting the continued colonial administration of the territory by the Netherlands during the 19th century.
