Laos Postage Due Stamp, 1952

Laos · 1952 · 10 K

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the Kingdom of Laos. The design features a large numeral '10' indicating the value, surrounded by ornate scrollwork. The text 'TIMBRE-TAXE' at the top identifies it as a postage due stamp, with the country name 'ROYAUME DU LAOS' below.

Issued in 1952, this stamp marks the establishment of an independent postal system for the Kingdom of Laos, which had recently gained greater autonomy within the French Union.
