POSTCARD
(35Pf + 40Pf - Green + Red Orange)

Issued Mar 1922. Only valid for domestic usage. On the occasions when these cards were incorrectly used, by adding additional postage, and then sending the card abroad, they were supposed to be returned to the sender as they did not meet the standards of the U.P.U (Universal Postal Union). However that was not always the case.

These cards were released to take account of another increase in the postal rates. This card is the same design as P141 but with an additional number inside a rosette.
