1871 15 bani vermilion from Prince Carol 1869 issue , type 4 of the transfer block, a very fine four-margined example on receipt (proof of delivery) for a registered letter sent from Bolgrad on 8/10 (1871), one week before the franking of
such forms was discontinued. A rare and highly unusual postal form overfranked by 10 bani, originating from the famous Bolgrad bisects hoard, ex collection Odor. Overfranked items from the classic Romania period are scarce, and this example is
extremely unusual. This may be connected with the lack of 5 bani stamps at Bolgrad, which led to the bisecting of 10 bani stamps. It is also possible that the sender had additional registered letters to dispatch on the same day and the postal clerk
used a higher denomination to save 5 bani stamps. Minor repair to the form at left and a light vertical crease at right, well clear of the stamp; otherwise fine and rare. Very few such items are recorded. Cherata cert. (2026). (Image 1)
