Libya Kingdom Postage Due Stamp
Libya · 1952 · 5m
This is the first postage due stamp issued by the newly independent Kingdom of Libya. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination '5 MILLS' prominently in the center, with Arabic script above and below indicating the value and country name. The simple, functional design is typical for postage due stamps of this era.
Issued shortly after Libya gained independence from Italy and the subsequent Allied administration in December 1951, this stamp represents the establishment of the new kingdom's independent postal system under King Idris I.
