Postage Due Stamp, Numerals in Oval Frame
Taiwan · 1946 · 1000 Yuan
This is a postage due stamp featuring a large numeral '1000' as the central design element, enclosed within an ornate oval frame. The characters at the top read '欠資郵票' (qiàn zī yóupiào), which translates to 'Postage Due Stamp'. The denomination is repeated in Chinese characters at the bottom.
Issued in 1946, this stamp reflects the period of hyperinflation in China following World War II, necessitating high-denomination postage. It was part of a series used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a mail item.
