Auction 265th - 273rd - Day 5

1858 (Nov): 80 parale brown red on yellowish white wove paper, four fine and fresh used examples, tied to piece by crisp strikes of framed "FRANCO / BACEU" handstamp (Kiriac fig. 301) in blue. A most exceptional franking of four examples of the 80 parale, be it on piece or cover, presumably originating from a registered cover of the fourth weight rate. Cert. Heimbüchler (2021).rnReference: Illustrated and discussed in 'Romania - The Bull's Heads of Moldavia, Supplement' on page 132.rnProvenance: Collection Edouard Cohen; Schwenn rarity sale (spring 1968), ex lot 510.
