Northern Rhodesia Postage Due Stamp

Northern Rhodesia · 1929 · 1d

This stamp is a postage due issue from Northern Rhodesia, featuring a simple, functional design. The central element is the large numeral '1' indicating the one penny denomination, enclosed within an ornate frame. The words 'NORTHERN RHODESIA' are inscribed at the top, with 'POSTAGE DUE' at the bottom, clearly stating its purpose.

Issued in 1929, this was part of the first set of postage due stamps for Northern Rhodesia, which had become a British protectorate in 1924. These stamps were used to collect payment for mail that was sent with insufficient postage.
