Libya 1970 Postage Due Stamp

Libya · 1970 · 10m

This postage due stamp features a simple, functional design centered around the numeral '10' indicating the amount due. The denomination is framed by Arabic script and the country's name in both Arabic and English, set against a solid color background. This type of stamp was not for prepayment of postage but was affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage to indicate the amount the recipient had to pay.

Issued in 1970, this stamp is from the period of the Libyan Arab Republic under the leadership of Muammar Gaddafi, following the 1969 coup d'état that overthrew the monarchy.
