1920, The second "British Occupation" Tree-type issue, 1r. chestnut two block of four tied by cds. "БАТУМ 12 7.20" to Bern with arrival mark, vertical fold, otherwise fine, covers from the last issue are very scarce, as postal circulation was only possible for about two weeks, this cover being the latest known usage being sent 5 days after Batum had been absorbed into Georgia. Stamps of the Georgian Republic were not yet available, thus occupation stamps where used, an exceptional cover
depicted in "BATUM UNDER OCCUPATION the years 1917 – 1921", page 134 (by Hans G. Grigoleit & Edward Klempka)
