MICHEL P152
OFFICIAL POSTCARD
35Pf + 40Pf
BACKGROUND: 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.
There are two versions of this card as follows:
P152-I: with four straight edges.
P152-II: with a serrated edge.
In addition to the regular official card described above there were a number with private printing.
SPECIAL CANCEL:
ABOVE: P152-I
ABOVE P152-II
