South Korea Postage Due Stamp

South Korea · 1957 · 10 Hwan

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the Republic of Korea. The design is simple and functional, featuring the denomination '10' in a large numeral at the center, surrounded by Korean characters indicating its purpose. The stamp is printed in a single color, blue, on unwatermarked paper.

Issued in 1957 during the post-Korean War reconstruction period, this stamp reflects the need to regularize and collect fees for underpaid mail as the nation's postal system was being rebuilt and modernized.
