Postage Due Stamp

Mozambique · 1911 · 10c

This is a postage due stamp from Mozambique, issued under Portuguese administration. The design is purely functional, featuring the denomination '10c' (10 Centavos) prominently in the center within an ornate frame, with 'REPUBLICA' at the top and 'MOÇAMBIQUE' at the bottom.

Issued in 1911, this stamp reflects the period shortly after the 1910 revolution in Portugal which established the First Portuguese Republic, replacing the monarchy. The 'REPUBLICA' overprint on existing colonial stamps marks this significant political transition.
