    1901/07: 4 a. green, a fine appearing example just touched at base, in a deep somewhat obscured shade (probably Setting 11), on reverse of October 1905 cover to Kathmandu tied by bold strike of hexagonal barred HANUMANNAGAR obliterator (Hellrigl type e2) with half negative datestamp at left. A very rare single franking, the cover was not sent registered but did contain coins, accounting for the quadruple rate. The sole single 4 anna franking cover recorded from the classic period.
