Tunisia 1959 Postage Due Stamp

Tunisia · 1959 · 100f

This is a postage due stamp, intended to be affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage. The design is purely functional, featuring the large numeral '100' to indicate the amount due, framed by ornate patterns. The country name appears in both Arabic and French script, reflecting the nation's dual linguistic heritage.

Issued in 1959, this stamp is from the early years of the Republic of Tunisia, which was proclaimed just two years prior after gaining independence from France. The design's simplicity is typical for postage due stamps of this period.
