Name: Taiwan Postage Due Stamp, 1949

Taiwan · 1949 · 10¢

This postage due stamp features a simple, functional design. The central element is the large numeral '10' indicating the value, surrounded by an ornate, traditional Chinese border. Characters at the top read 'Postage Due Stamp' and at the bottom 'Republic of China Postal Service'.

Issued in 1949, this stamp reflects a period of major transition as the Republic of China government relocated to Taiwan following the Chinese Civil War. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment for insufficient postage from the recipient.
