Libya, Italian Administration, Postage Due Stamp

Libya (Italian Administration) · 1921 · 10 Centesimi

This is the first postage due stamp issued under the Italian Administration of Libya. The design is simple and functional, featuring a large numeral '10' indicating the value of 10 Centesimi, surrounded by an ornate frame. The inscriptions 'SEGNATASSE' (Postage Due) and 'LIBIA' are prominently displayed.

Issued during the period of Italian colonial rule in Libya, this stamp reflects the establishment of a formal postal system. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment for mail that was sent with insufficient postage.
