    Bucharest 1867: Prepaid cover with complete contents to Hermannstadt (Nagyszeben), struck with straight line "FRANCO" and "BUCAREST" circular datestamp (June 20) in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 714). Crossed to denote prepayment (of 10 soldi, noted on reverse) with Hermannstadt arrival cds (June 22) alongside. Small imperfections but a scarce usage - the new 1867 "soldi" issue did not arrive at the Romanian Post Offices until July 1867.
