Cambodia Postage Due Stamp

Cambodia · 1952 · 10c

This is Cambodia's first postage due stamp, featuring a simple, functional design. The central element is the denomination '10c' enclosed within an ornate, traditional Cambodian frame. The text 'TIMBRE-TAXE' at the top indicates its purpose for collecting insufficient postage, with 'CAMBODGE' inscribed at the bottom.

Issued in 1952, this stamp marks a key step in Cambodia's developing postal autonomy within the French Union, shortly before gaining full independence in 1953.
