Mozambique 1904 Postage Due Stamp

Mozambique · 1904 · 10r

This stamp is part of Mozambique's first series of postage due stamps. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination '10 REIS' prominently in the center, surrounded by an ornate, decorative frame. The inscription 'MOÇAMBIQUE' appears at the top, with 'PORTÊZA' (Postage Due) at the bottom, indicating its function to collect insufficient postage.

Issued under Portuguese colonial administration, this stamp reflects the standardized designs used for functional postal issues across the Portuguese colonies in the early 20th century.
