Uruguay Postage Due Stamp

Uruguay · 1896 · 1c

This is a postage due stamp from Uruguay, part of a series issued in 1896. The design is purely functional, featuring a large numeral '1' indicating the one centésimo value to be collected upon delivery. The text 'REPUBLICA O. DEL URUGUAY' and 'DEFICIT' clearly state the country of origin and the stamp's purpose.

Postage due stamps were used by postal authorities to indicate the amount of postage that was underpaid by the sender, which then had to be paid by the recipient.
