    20 pa. red on wove paper, an extraordinary complete sheet of 200 examples (8 + 12 x 16) with alternating type I and type II in a fresh shade with full sheet margins all round and full original gum.

    Note: While 2 pa. yellow and 5 pa. blue were only printed in sheets of 192 stamps in 16 rows with a mean vertical distance of 4.0 - 4.5 mm, the 20 pa. stamp was printed with two different plate settings. The first 1864 printrun had a plate setting identical to the two lower values. However, in order to achieve a  number of 200 stamps per sheet, the second printrun in 1865 was printed with a modified plate setting including eight additional stamps in an additional 17th row at top leaving the place for four stamps at left blank. The vertical distance between the stamp rows had to be reduced to 3.0 - 3.8 mm.

    4 bani green blue in a block of four (Transfer types 4-1/8-5) showing the prominent 'Major Retouche' with type 8, a fine and fresh colour mutiple showing regular large margins, neatly cancelled by "IASSI 12/12" cds's in blue (Kiriac A65 fig. 400). Type 4 has an insignificant thin on reverse which does not distract from the unique nature of this item. This crude retouche was present only in one position on a small part of the first printrun, plate A. Described for the first time in 1879 by Dr. Legrand (Dr. Magnus) in 'Le Timbre-poste', nowadays only a small group seems to have survived. Fritz Heimbüchler describes in vol. II of his book on pp. 199-200 that he has expertised more Bull's Head 81 parale than single 4 bani with 'Major Retouche', the only multiples including this retouche being a pair from the Ferrary collection, this block of four originating from the Rothschild collection, and a block of ten, lost with the Baron von Witzleben collection after WWII. A key piece of Romanian philately.

    Provenance: Collection Dorning-Beckton; collection Rothschild.

    50 bani indigo & red, three fresh singles (transfer types 1 + 4 + 1) with mostly large margins, two stamps shaved at left, tied by "BUCURESTI SERA 10/9" cds's (Kiriac T69 fig. 444; year unclear) to a double-weight entire to France with framed "P.D.", French entry mark in red, and French "A." for mail coming from Austria alongside, reverse with Vienna transit and arrival cds's. Cover slightly grubby, but a very rare and scarce item franked correctly for a double weight item in the tariff of April 1869. One of the largest frankings with 50 bani stamps known.

    50 bani blue & red, the upper left half of a diagonally bisected stamp, tied by "JASSY SERA 24/12" cds (Kiriac T69 fig. 464) to entire letter to Vienna with framed "P.D." alongside, reverse with Vienna arrival cds (27/12 71). A fresh and fine stamp, a usage of outmost rarity as there is no other bisected 50 bani known on cover, one of the key items of Romanian postal history, shown and described in Heimbüchler II, pp. 294-295, who thought in error that a piece and a cover from the same day would exist. Cert. Heimbüchler (2014).

    5 bani carmine-rose, a mint block of three with one blank field in the lower right position (Transfer types 4-1/6-x). Diagonal crease in the lower part but a fresh key piece for the reconstruction of plate A, compare Cohen 1950, p. 29-30 and Heimbüchler II, p. 256.

    5 bani carmine rose, a mint horizontal block of twelve (Transfer types 10-9-10-9/8-5-6-1/10-7-8-3), a very large multiple showing the regular transfer types in the first row and the mixed transfer types in the two lower rows representing the three lowermost rows of column 2 to 5 of plate A. A crease between row 2 and 3, stabilized by hinges, but a great multiple for the reconstruction of this plate where the largest interesting multiples had been blocks of six, compare Cohen 1950, p. 29-30 and Heimbüchler II, p. 256.

    5 bani red, a block of four with a prominent horizontal shift of the stamps between both rows (Transfer Types 10-9/2-7), cancelled by "JASSY DIM 15/3" cds's. A rare multiple showing a shift between regular and mixed transfer types, here the regular row 4 and the mixed row 5 from columns 6 and 7. Horizontal crease in stamp margins only but a fine and scarce multiple for the reconstruction of plate A, compare Cohen 1950, p. 29-30 and Heimbüchler II, p. 256.
