Mozambique Postage Due Stamp

Mozambique · 1895 · 100 Reis

This is one of the first postage due stamps issued by Mozambique. The design is purely functional and typographic, featuring the denomination '100 REIS' prominently in the center, surrounded by an ornate frame. The text 'MOÇAMBIQUE' appears at the top and 'PORTEADO A RECEBER' (Postage to be Received) at the bottom, indicating its purpose.

Issued in 1895, this stamp reflects the administrative needs of the Portuguese colonial postal system in Mozambique during a period of expanding mail services.
