Morocco 1943-44 Postage Due Stamps, Set of 3
Morocco · 1943 · 1f, 2f, 5f
This set of three postage due stamps features a simple, functional typographic design. The central element is the large numeral indicating the amount due, framed by decorative elements and inscriptions in both French ("CHIFFRE-TAXE") and Arabic. The design prioritizes clarity for postal workers to assess underpaid mail.
Issued under the French Protectorate, these stamps were used to collect postage fees on mail that was insufficiently prepaid. Their issuance during World War II reflects the continuation of postal services despite the global conflict.
