Turkey 1950 Postage Due Stamp

Turkey · 1950 · 10 Kuruş

This postage due stamp features a large numeral '10' at its center, indicating the amount of postage to be collected upon delivery. The denomination 'KURUŞ' is printed below, and the design is framed by ornate scrollwork with 'TÜRKİYE POSTALARI' (Turkish Posts) inscribed at the top.

Issued in the mid-20th century, this stamp was part of a series used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient, a common postal practice of the era before widespread pre-payment.
