Malta 1926 Postage Due Stamp, 1/2d Green

Malta · 1926 · 1/2d

This is a definitive postage due stamp from the British colony of Malta. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination 'HALF PENNY' prominently in the center, framed by ornate scrollwork. The words 'MALTA' and 'POSTAGE DUE' are inscribed at the top and bottom, respectively.

Issued during British rule, this stamp was used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. The simple, functional design was common for postage due stamps of this period across the British Empire.
