Laos Postage Due Stamp, 1952

Laos · 1952 · 100 Kip

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the Kingdom of Laos. The design features the denomination '100' prominently in the center, flanked by decorative elements. The inscriptions 'POSTES LAO' and 'TIMBRE-TAXE' indicate its purpose for collecting insufficient postage.

Issued in 1952, this stamp represents the early postal administration of the newly independent Kingdom of Laos, which had gained sovereignty from France within the French Union.
