Norway 50 öre Postage Due, 1889

Norway · 1889 · 50 öre

The stamp features a large numeral '50' in the center, with 'NORGE' at the top and 'PORTO' at the bottom, all within a decorative frame. It is a simple, functional design typical for postage due stamps of the era.

This stamp belongs to Norway's first series of postage due stamps, issued to collect unpaid or insufficient postage from the recipient. Its existence reflects the postal administration's need to manage and recover revenue for underpaid mail.
