Nigeria Postage Due Stamp

Nigeria · 1965 · 1d

This stamp is part of Nigeria's first postage due series issued after becoming a republic. The design is simple and functional, featuring a large numeral '1' indicating the one penny denomination, framed by an ornamental design with 'NIGERIA' inscribed at the top and 'POSTAGE DUE' at the bottom.

Issued in 1965, this series reflects the early years of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which was established in 1963. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment for mail that was sent with insufficient postage.
