Montenegro Postage Due Stamp

Montenegro · 1894 · 2 Novcic

This is one of the first postage due stamps issued by the Principality of Montenegro. The design is purely typographic, featuring the large numeral '2' for the denomination of 2 Novcic, surrounded by Cyrillic text indicating its purpose. The simple, functional design is characteristic of early postage due issues.

Issued in 1894, this stamp reflects the establishment of a formal postal system in Montenegro under Prince Nicholas I, who sought to modernize the principality's infrastructure and administration.
