This stamp features a simple, functional design centered around the large numeral '1' indicating its value of one centésimo. The words 'CORREOS DE PANAMA' and 'RECARGO POR FRANQUEO' are inscribed, signifying its purpose as a postage due stamp for mail with insufficient postage. The design is utilitarian, typical for this type of postal issue.

Issued in 1915, this was Panama's first postage due stamp, reflecting the formalization of its postal system following its independence from Colombia in 1903 and the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914.
