POST-MUSEUM J. No 5064" description on it, situated in the corresponding container. It is known and was first described in the literature when Ing. Edwin Müller used it 1927 in his monograph 'Die Postmarken von Österreich' on p. 96 as the authorative example to explain the sheet organization of the 1858 issue, especially the positioning of the St. Andrew's crosses. It elucidates that the sheet organization of the 1858 Neukreuzer ö W. / Soldi issue simply followed that of the 1850 Kreuzer C.M. / Centesimi issue in spite of the fact that this sheet organization was totally obsolete as the new Gulden equals to 100 Kreuzer ö W. followed the decimal system while the old pre-1858 Gulden equaling to 60 Kreuzer C.M. did not. rnBeside this sheet there exists only one cover with all four St. Andrew's crosses. There is no other multiple of nearly that size existing, a sensational quality and provenance, a museal unikat for the connoisseur of the philately of classical Austria and Lombardo-Veneto. rnCert.
