Sudan Postage Due Stamp

Name: Sudan Postage Due Stamp
Brand: Sudan

Sudan · 1902 · 1m

This is a postage due stamp, designed to indicate the amount of postage to be collected from the recipient upon delivery of underpaid mail. The design is purely functional, featuring the denomination '1 MILLIEME' prominently in the center, surrounded by an ornate, decorative frame. The text 'SUDAN POSTAGE' and 'POSTAGE DUE' are inscribed at the top and bottom, respectively.

Issued in 1902, this was the first postage due stamp for Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. It reflects the establishment of a formal postal system requiring standardized methods for handling insufficient postage during the Condominium period.
