A rare stamp Kneitschel 30c = $ 1'200/Scott = $ 1'200.

    Note: Experiments with La Croix Fréres watermarked paper ran in Argentina, Mexico (Maximilian Issue) and Egypt (Suez Canal Issue) at the same time, 1867-1868. It is interesting to note that none of these countries continued using the Company's paper.
