Laos Postage Due Stamp
Laos · 1952 · 1 K
This is the first postage due stamp issued by the Kingdom of Laos. The design is simple and functional, featuring a large numeral '1' indicating the value of 1 Kip, enclosed within an ornate frame. The text 'TIMBRE-TAXE' at the top and 'POSTES LAO' at the bottom clearly identify its purpose and origin.
Issued in 1952, this stamp marks the period shortly after Laos gained autonomy within the French Union in 1949, establishing its own postal administration separate from French Indochina.
