Cambodia Postage Due Stamp, Red and Black

Cambodia · 1951 · 10c

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the newly independent Kingdom of Cambodia. The design features the denomination '10c' prominently in the center, framed by ornate patterns. The inscriptions 'CAMBODGE' and 'TIMBRE-TAXE' indicate its country of origin and purpose as a tax stamp for underpaid mail.

Issued in 1951, this stamp marks a period of transition for Cambodia as it gained independence from French Indochina, establishing its own postal administration and services.
