Taiwan Postage Due Stamp, Blue
Taiwan (Republic of China) · 1947 · 2000 Dollars
This is a postage due stamp, indicated by the large Chinese characters for 'Postage Due' (欠資) framing the central design. The denomination '貳仟圓' (2000 Dollars) is prominently displayed in the center against a simple, functional background. The design prioritizes clarity for postal workers to identify and collect insufficient postage.
Issued in 1947 during a period of hyperinflation following World War II, the high denomination reflects the rapidly devaluing Chinese currency before the introduction of the New Taiwan dollar in 1949.
