Nepal Postage Due Stamp

Nepal · 1954 · 12 Paisa

This is a postage due stamp from Nepal, featuring a large numeral '12' at its center to indicate the amount due. The denomination is written in Devanagari script, and the design is purely functional, intended to be easily recognizable by postal workers for collecting insufficient postage from the recipient.

Issued in the mid-1950s, this stamp represents a period of modernization for Nepal's postal system following the end of the Rana dynasty's isolationist rule.
