Cambodia Postage Due Stamp

Cambodia · 1922 ·

This stamp is part of Cambodia's first series of postage due stamps, issued under French colonial administration. The design is purely functional, featuring a large numeral indicating the amount due, framed by an ornate design with the country name 'CAMBODGE' and the words 'CHIFFRE-TAXE A PERCEVOIR' (Tax Figure to be Collected).

Issued during the French Protectorate of Cambodia, these stamps were used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter, a common practice in early 20th-century postal systems.
