Cambodia Postage Due Stamp, 1951

Cambodia · 1951 · 10c

This is a postage due stamp from Cambodia, issued in 1951. The design is purely functional, featuring a large numeral '10' indicating the centime value to be collected, framed by ornate scrollwork. The text 'TIMBRE-TAXE' at the top confirms its purpose as a tax or postage due stamp, with 'CAMBODGE' inscribed at the bottom.

Issued shortly after Cambodia gained greater autonomy within the French Union, this stamp represents the transitional period leading to full independence in 1953. Postage due stamps were used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter.
