This is a classic postage due stamp from Guadeloupe, issued during the late 19th to early 20th century under French colonial administration. The design features a striking avenue of palm trees in brown, framed within green lettering and ornaments. The inscription “Chiffre-Taxe” marks it as a postage due issue, used to collect underpaid postage. Denomination is 5 centimes, printed in bold green numerals. Such colonial issues are highly sought after by philatelists for their aesthetic tropical motifs and connection to French overseas territories.
