Poland Postage Due Stamp

Poland · 1919 · 5 F

This stamp features a large numeral '5' at its center, indicating the amount due, framed by an ornate, decorative border. The letter 'F' for Fenigów is positioned below the numeral, and the word 'DOPŁATA' (Surcharge) is inscribed at the top, clearly identifying its purpose as a postage due stamp.

Issued in 1919, this was among the first postage due stamps of the Second Polish Republic, established just a year prior after World War I. It reflects the new nation's efforts to create a standardized and independent postal system.
