    1863 Coat of Arms 2 kr. yellow, perf. 14 used on February 1869 pre-printed entire letter sent at printed matter rate to Braila showing Austrian P.O. arrival mark on reverse, together with an April 1869 second letter, to the same addressee, franked with both 2 kr. perf. 14 and 2 kr. perf. 9½, both covers tied by the "Lloyd Agenzie - Constantinopoli" datestamps. Second cover cancelled April 10 and backstamped by "Braila 12/4 Sera" cds, the datestamp of the Romanian Post Office. After the Austria-Romania Postal Treaty of July 1868, which came into effect in April 1869, the twelve Austrian P.O.'s had been closed, among them the Austrian Braila P.O. The special Austrian Levant printed matter rate of 2 Soldi to Romania was then no longer permitted, the sender thus had to add another 2 Kr. value, in this case the perf. 9½ . Slight gum stains do not detract from the importance of this rare and unusual pair of covers - ably demonstrating both the two rare Printed Matter rates and the change of postal rates in 1869. Certs. E. Diena (1991). Ferchenbauer p.576 = LP for mixed frankings.rn
