Uruguay 1970 Postage Due Stamp
Uruguay · 1970 · 10c
This is a postage due stamp, intended to be affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage. The design is purely functional, featuring a large numeral '10' indicating the amount due, framed by ornate scrollwork. The text 'REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY' and 'FALTANTE' (meaning 'shortage' or 'missing') clearly state its purpose and origin.
Issued in 1970, this stamp reflects a common postal practice of the era for collecting unpaid postage from the recipient before the widespread use of automated mail processing.
