Sudan 1950 Postage Due Stamp, 2m Blue

Sudan · 1950 · 2m

This is a postage due stamp, designed to indicate the amount of postage that was underpaid by the sender and needed to be collected from the recipient. The design is purely functional, featuring the denomination '2m' (2 milliemes) prominently in the center within an ornate frame, with Arabic and English text indicating its purpose.

Issued under the Anglo-Egyptian condominium rule of Sudan, this stamp reflects the dual administrative languages of the period. Postage due stamps were a common and necessary part of postal operations worldwide to ensure proper revenue collection for mail services.
