A historic collection of 405 Somalia postage stamps
✨ Discovery of the day
Year: 1950
Segnatasse - 2 centesimo
Issued in 1950 as part of the postage due (Segnatasse) series of the Trust Territory of Somalia under Italian Administration (AFIS), this stamp was used to collect fees on mail that had been sent with insufficient postage. Postage due stamps formed an essential component of postal operations, ensuring that underpaid correspondence could still be delivered while allowing postal authorities to recover the missing charges from the recipient. By issuing these stamps, the Somali postal administration maintained the efficient functioning of the mail system during a period of post-war reconstruction and administrative development. The issue reflects the importance of reliable postal services in supporting government administration, commercial activity, and personal communication, while illustrating the continued modernization of Somalia's postal network in the years preceding independence.
