Singapore Postage Due Stamp

Singapore · 1968 · 1c

This stamp is part of Singapore's first series of postage due stamps, issued after its independence. The design is purely functional, featuring a large numeral '1' indicating the 1 cent value to be collected, set against a simple, patterned background. The text 'SINGAPORE' and 'POSTAGE DUE' clearly state its origin and purpose.

Issued in 1968, this series marked Singapore's establishment of its own postal regulations for underpaid mail, a few years after gaining full independence in 1965.
