coat of arms - segnatasse - 10 lira
Issued during the period of Italian Somaliland, this postage due stamp was used to collect insufficient postal fees on mail that had been sent without the correct postage. Postage due stamps played an important administrative role in the postal system, ensuring that unpaid or underpaid mail could still be delivered while recovering the missing charges from the recipient. The issue reflects the organization and expansion of postal services in the colony during the early twentieth century, when reliable communication networks were becoming increasingly important for government administration, business, and personal correspondence. Such stamps are a reminder of the practical mechanisms used by postal authorities to manage mail delivery and maintain the financial operation of postal services.
