Laos Postage Due Stamp
Laos · 1952 · 10k
This is the first postage due stamp issued by the Kingdom of Laos. The design features a large numeral '10' indicating the value in Kip, surrounded by an ornate frame with Laotian script. The text 'TIMBRE-TAXE' at the top signifies its purpose for collecting unpaid postage.
Issued shortly after Laos gained semi-autonomy within the French Union in 1949, this stamp represents the establishment of its independent postal administration.
