Lot no. 4165

„POSTAHANE-I SUMNU 1285“, arabic negative seal, superb strike in blue on small money order form for a sac with 2500 pieces of gold to the ministry of finances in Constantinople. Small paper faults, fixed on cardboard for safe conservation. Supposed to be the finest of just five recorded strikes of this elusive handstamp, this one with the most spectacular story; not listed in the Isfila handbook. Signed Nakri and Todd.
