Singapore Postage Due Stamp, Queen Elizabeth II

Singapore · 1969 · 1c

This postage due stamp features the iconic Machin Head portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Arnold Machin. The design is simple and functional, with the denomination '1c' prominently displayed against a solid background, clearly indicating the amount of postage owed. The word 'SINGAPORE' is printed at the bottom.

Issued shortly after Singapore's full independence, this stamp is part of the first postage due series for the new republic. It replaced the previous designs used under British colonial rule and Malaysian federation, symbolizing the nation's new sovereign postal authority.
