SCG6306 - Dahomey 1959 1 Franc Postage Due – Leopard and Captive Design
1 in stock
Issued by the République du Dahomey (modern-day Benin), this striking 1 Franc Timbre-Taxe stamp features a bold red depiction of a leopard overpowering a human figure, enclosed in a green frame. The image draws from traditional Dahomean symbolism, where the leopard represents royal power and authority. Postage due stamps like this were used to indicate insufficiently prepaid mail. A visually powerful design from the early independence period, it reflects the nation's cultural motifs rendered in minimalist colonial-era engraving style.
