Cambodia Postage Due, Numeral and Khmer Text

Cambodia · 1951 · 10c

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the newly independent Kingdom of Cambodia. The design is purely functional, featuring the denomination '10c' prominently in the center, framed by decorative elements. The country name is inscribed in both French ('CAMBODGE') and Khmer, with 'TIMBRE-TAXE' indicating its purpose.

Issued in 1951, this stamp marks a key moment in Cambodia's transition to full independence from French Indochina, establishing its own postal administration and instruments.
