This is a postage due stamp from Trinidad and Tobago, featuring a simple, functional design. The central element is the large numeral '1' indicating the one penny due, enclosed within an ornate frame. The words 'TRINIDAD & TOBAGO' are inscribed at the top, with 'POSTAGE DUE' at the bottom.

Issued in 1905, this was the first postage due stamp for the combined colony of Trinidad and Tobago. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment from the recipient for mail that was sent with insufficient postage.
