Libya 1970 Postage Due Stamp

Libya · 1970 · 10m

This postage due stamp features a large numeral '10' at its center, indicating the amount due. The design is simple and functional, with Arabic and English text for 'Postage Due' and the country name, 'Libyan Arab Republic'. The stamp's purpose was to be affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage, indicating the amount the recipient needed to pay upon delivery.

Issued in 1970, this stamp reflects the period shortly after the 1969 coup d'état led by Muammar Gaddafi, which established the Libyan Arab Republic, replacing the Kingdom of Libya.
