Lithuania Postage Due Stamp, 1922

Lithuania · 1922 · 5 Centų

This is a postage due stamp, intended to be affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination '5 CENTŲ' prominently in the center, surrounded by an ornate, decorative frame. The country name 'LIETUVA' appears at the top, with 'PRIMOKĖTI' (meaning 'to pay extra' or 'postage due') at the bottom.

Issued in 1922, this stamp was part of Lithuania's first series of postage due stamps, reflecting the development of its independent postal system after gaining independence following World War I.
