    1786 (Oct 3): Cover and complete original contents to 'Son Altesse, Monsieur Le Prince Mauro Cordato, Prince regnant de Moldavie, Jassy' with complete red wax seal on reverse, the letter beautifully written by a secretary in French, signed at base from Vienna by 'Kaunitz' (Wenze Anton, Prince of Kaunitz-Rietberg, 1753-1792), Foreign Minister under Maria Thereas and Joseph II of Austria.

    Lot# : 1644 Romania

    1859 (Nov 4): Stampless entire letter prepaid from Jassy to Galatz struck on front with 'Jassy / Moldova' despatch cds (4/11) in red (Kiriac fig. 279) and oval framed FRANCO / JASSY in red - the earliest recorded usage of this marking (Kiriac fig. 311). Reverse with 'Galatz / Moldova' cds of receipt (5/11) in blue. Rare and most probably unique.

    Note: The 'Franco' markings were released by the Post Office on Monday, November 2, 1859. The reason for their issue was that Postmasters, notably at Berlad, had been using the circular dated types (Kiriac fig. 271-286) to re-use postage stamps by overlaying the circular dated cancels and then pocket the cash difference. This explains why all the 1859 'Franco' markings (Kiriac fig 301-321) were each issued in different formats.
