This is a postage due stamp from Uruguay, part of a series issued in 1896. The design is simple and functional, featuring a large numeral '1' indicating the one-centésimo value to be collected. The numeral is framed by an ornate design with the country's name 'URUGUAY' at the top and the word 'FALTA' (meaning 'lacking' or 'due') at the bottom.
Postage due stamps were used by postal authorities to indicate the amount of postage that was underpaid on a piece of mail, which the recipient would then have to pay upon delivery.
