Uruguay Postage Due Stamp
Uruguay · 1895 · 1c
This is Uruguay's first postage due stamp, featuring a simple design with the large numeral '1' at its center to indicate the value of 1 centésimo. The text 'REPUBLICA O. DEL URUGUAY' arches over the top, with 'CORREOS' below, and the denomination spelled out as 'UN CENTESIMO' at the bottom.
Issued in 1895, these stamps were used to collect postage fees that were underpaid by the sender, a common practice in postal systems of the era.
