Letter from Trieste 26.8.1871 underpaid with 15 Kr instead of 20Kr the missing 5 were doubled to 10 and transferred to 45l. This amount is much too high -correct rate should be 27l. Nobody neither in Austria nor in Greece can explain this amount-so it is called "the mystery 45l.". A clean and beautiful combination cover.
