Sudan Postage Due Stamp

Sudan · 1897 · 1m

This is Sudan's first postage due stamp, featuring a simple typographic design. The central element is the large numeral '1' indicating the one millieme value, framed by ornate corner elements. The text 'SUDAN POSTAGE' and 'ONE MILLIEME' clearly state its origin and purpose.

Issued during the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium period, this stamp was used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. It represents the establishment of a formal postal system under joint British and Egyptian administration.
