Vietnam 1951 Postage Due Stamp

Name: Vietnam 1951 Postage Due Stamp
Brand: Vietnam

Vietnam · 1951 · 10c

This is a postage due stamp, designed to indicate the amount of postage to be collected from the recipient upon delivery of an underpaid letter. The design is purely functional, featuring the large numeral '10' for the denomination, the currency 'c' (centimes), and the French text 'TIMBRE-TAXE' which translates to 'Tax Stamp'.

Issued in 1951 for the State of Vietnam, this stamp reflects the French colonial influence on the postal system, as evidenced by the French text and currency. It was part of the first set of postage due stamps for the newly established state.
