1858: Handstruck at Jassy, 5 parale black on thin white wove paper, Type I, an unused example in a greyish shade, good to large margins at three sides, touched at right, part original gum. Despite the faults, one of just eight examples recorded in unused condition (see Heimbüchler III, page 71), this being a new find, and a stamp missing from many great collections. A rarity of both Romanian and world classic philately. Cert. Scheller (2012) Mi = € 25'000 / Gi 11 = £ 16'000.
