Kenya Postage Due Stamp

Name: Kenya Postage Due Stamp
Brand: Kenya

Kenya · 1963 · 10c

This stamp is a definitive postage due issue from Kenya, featuring a simple, functional design. The central element is the large numeral '10' indicating the value of 10 cents, enclosed within an ornate frame. The words 'POSTAGE DUE' are prominently displayed at the top, with 'KENYA' at the bottom.

Issued shortly after Kenya gained independence in December 1963, this was among the first postage due stamps of the newly independent nation, replacing the issues of the colonial-era Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika administration.
