Rhodesia 1970 Postage Due Set

Rhodesia · 1970 · 1c, 2c, 4c, 5c

This set of four postage due stamps features a simple, functional design centered on large, clear numerals indicating the amount due: 1c, 2c, 4c, and 5c. The text 'RHODESIA' is prominently displayed at the top, with 'POSTAGE DUE' below the central value, all set against a solid color background unique to each denomination.

Issued in 1970, these stamps were used during the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) period, when Rhodesia was an unrecognized state. Postage due stamps were affixed by postal workers to mail with insufficient postage to indicate the amount the recipient had to pay upon delivery.
