Laos Postage Due Stamp, 1952

Laos · 1952 · 10 K

This is a postage due stamp from Laos, featuring a simple, functional design. The central focus is the large numeral '10' indicating the amount due, with the currency 'K' (Kip) below it. The country name 'LAOS' is inscribed at the top, and 'TIMBRE-TAXE' (Postage Due) is at the bottom, all framed by an ornamental border.

Issued shortly after Laos gained semi-autonomy within the French Union in 1949, this stamp represents the early postal administration of the Kingdom of Laos before full independence in 1953.
