French Indochina · 1908 · 1c

This postage due stamp features a large numeral '1' indicating the one-centime value to be collected. The design is simple and functional, with 'INDO-CHINE' inscribed at the top and 'CHIFFRE-TAXE A PERCEVOIR' (Tax Figure to Collect) below. The stamp was printed but never officially issued for postal use.

Prepared in 1908 for use across the territories of French Indochina, this series of postage due stamps was ultimately not released, making them a fascinating 'what if' for collectors of the region.
