Rhodesia 1970 Postage Due Stamps

Rhodesia · 1970 · 1c, 2c, 4c, 5c

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

Issued in 1970, these stamps were used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient of a letter. This period followed Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) in 1965, a time of international isolation and political turmoil.
