Sudan Postage Due Stamps, 1897 Issue

Sudan · 1897 · 1 Millieme

This stamp is the first postage due issue from Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination '1 MILLIEME' prominently in the center, framed by ornate scrollwork. The text 'SUDAN POSTAGE' appears at the top, with 'DUE' at the bottom, and the value is also written in Arabic script.

Issued in 1897 under the Anglo-Egyptian condominium, these stamps were used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. This series marks the beginning of Sudan's independent postal administration for this specific function.
