South Africa Postage Due Stamp, Green

South Africa · 1923 · 1d

This is one of South Africa's first postage due stamps, featuring a simple typographic design. The denomination '1d' (one penny) is prominently displayed in the center, framed by ornate scrollwork and the words 'SOUTH AFRICA' and 'SUID-AFRIKA' in both English and Afrikaans. The stamp is printed in a distinct green color.

Issued in 1923, these stamps were affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage to indicate the amount the recipient had to pay upon delivery. This bilingual issue reflects the dual official languages of the Union of South Africa at the time.
