Kenya · 1963 · 10c

This is a definitive postage due stamp from Kenya, featuring a simple, functional design centered around the denomination '10c'. The text 'POSTAGE DUE' is prominently displayed at the top, with 'KENYA' at the bottom, indicating its purpose is to collect insufficient postage from the recipient.

Issued shortly after Kenya gained independence in December 1963, this postage due stamp was part of the first definitive series of the new nation, replacing the stamps of the colonial era (Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika).
