Irish Postage Due Stamp, Green
Ireland · 1925 · 1d
This stamp features a purely typographic design, characteristic of early postage due issues. The denomination '1d' (one penny) is prominently displayed in the center, surrounded by an ornate Celtic-inspired border with the words 'ÉIRE' (Ireland) and 'PINGIN' (Penny). The design's focus is functional, clearly indicating the amount of postage owed.
Issued in 1925, this was the first postage due stamp of the newly formed Irish Free State. It replaced British postage due stamps and marked a step in establishing a distinct national postal identity.
