Uruguay 1902 Postage Due Stamps

Uruguay · 1902 · 1c to 50c

This series of postage due stamps features a simple, functional design. Each stamp displays the denomination numeral prominently within an ornate, oval frame, with the words 'REPUBLICA O. DEL URUGUAY' above and 'CENTESIMOS' below. The design is utilitarian, intended to clearly indicate the amount of postage owed by the recipient.

Issued in the early 20th century, these stamps served the practical purpose of collecting insufficient postage on mail. Their design reflects the common typographic style for such functional issues of the period.
