    Mail carried on Austrian Lloyd 1870: Cover from Chalcis, Isle of Euboea, to Trieste, franked at 70 lepta rate in error with 1862/67 5 l. green in a creased horizontal pair and three overlapped 20 l. blue, all tied by '56' dotted numeral with 'Chalcis' despatch datestamp in black alongside. Reverse with Athens transit cds (May 9) and oval Triest arrival. The adhesives with imperfections but an unusual usage - the 'Port' rate of 55 lepta not being applied and thus 15 lepta overpaid. Hellas 18+31.
