Sudan Postage Due

Sudan · 1897 · 1m

This is Sudan's first postage due stamp, featuring a simple typographic design. The denomination '1 MILLIEME' is centrally located within an ornate rectangular frame, with Arabic script above and below. The design is functional, intended to clearly indicate the amount of postage owed by the recipient.

Issued under the Anglo-Egyptian administration of Sudan, this stamp was part of the initial set of postal markings for the territory. Postage due stamps were necessary to collect unpaid or underpaid postage from the mail recipient.
