Montenegro Postage Due Stamp, Black Numeral

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 a large numeral '2' indicating the amount due, framed by an ornate border with the denomination 'NOVČIĆA' (Novcic) inscribed below.

Issued in 1894, these stamps signify the formalization of Montenegro's postal system, allowing post offices to collect payment for mail with insufficient postage.
