Following the implementation of the UPU tariff of 19th June 1875 (4 kopek for both domestic and international rate), the previous 5 kopek stationery cards kept on being sold at the counter and used provisionally at the new tariff. Several local post offices are known to have amended the indicium to reflect the rate change. Reference: Epstein, Postal Stationery of Russia and its Dependencies, Vol I, page 36
