Rhodesia Postage Due Stamps

Rhodesia · 1970 · 1c, 2c, 4c, 6c

This set of four postage due stamps features a simple, functional design with large, clear numerals indicating the amount due. The denominations are 1c, 2c, 4c, and 6c, each printed in a distinct color for easy identification. The design is purely typographic, emphasizing its utilitarian purpose of collecting insufficient postage.

Issued in 1970, these were the first decimal currency postage due stamps for Rhodesia, following the country's switch from the Rhodesian pound to the Rhodesian dollar. This set was used to collect underpaid postage on mail items.
