Zimbabwe Postage Due Stamp

Zimbabwe · 1980 · 1c

This stamp features a large numeral '1' indicating its one-cent value, with the text 'POSTAGE DUE' prominently displayed above. The design is simple and functional, printed in a distinct carmine color, typical for postage due stamps of this era which were used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient.

Issued in 1980, this was among the first postage due stamps released by the newly independent nation of Zimbabwe, following the end of Rhodesian rule. It marks a key transition in the country's postal history.
