Laos Postage Due Stamp, 1952

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 amount due, with the currency 'k' for Kip. The text 'CHIFFRE-TAXE' at the top confirms its purpose as a postage due stamp, and 'POSTES LAO' is inscribed at the bottom.

Issued shortly after Laos gained autonomy within the French Union in 1949, this stamp represents the establishment of its independent postal administration.
