1872: Grosses Schild 5 Gr. ockerbraun (2) in einer Vierfarbenfrankatur mit ¼ Gr. grauviolett, ½ Gr. orange und 1 Gr. karmin, etwas undeutlich entw. "LEIPZIG 18 MRZ 73", eine 5 Gr. zusätzlich noch mit gefasstem PD mit nebenges.

Ausriss, dennoch eine höchst seltene Verwendung im teureren Brieftarif über Grossbritannien, während ein Brief über Brindisi nur 8 Groschen gekostet hätte. Bemerkung: Benjamin Smith Lyman (1831-1921) war ein amerikanischer Geologe, der im Auftrag der japanischen Regierung zu Beginn der Meiji-Periode die Kohlevorkommen auf der Insel Hokkaido untersuchte und von 1872 bis 1920 in Japan lebte. Benjamin Smith Lyman was a geologist from Northampton, Massachusetts, who was contracted by the Japanese government in 1872 to carry out coal surveys on the island of Hokkaidō 北海道. What started out as a standard geological survey, quickly evolved into a lifelong interest in Japan for Lyman. He later became famous among linguists because of an 1894 pamphlet in which he stated a generalization now known as Lyman’s Law. (Image 1) (Image 2)
