Zimbabwe Postage Due Stamp

Zimbabwe · 1980 · 1c

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the newly independent nation of Zimbabwe. The design is simple and functional, featuring a large numeral '1' to indicate the 1 cent value, with the country name 'ZIMBABWE' inscribed above and 'POSTAGE DUE' below, all within a decorative border.
