#4 auction
Lot 1562:
Letter sent (4.6.1913) from Montevideo to Portugal, franked with 8 cents in Uruguayan stamps, which, as it was insufficient due to its excess weight (+ 15 grams), was marked T by the sending post, as it should have been franked with an additional 4 cents (according to the table of the time, 5 French cents = 100 reis = 10 cents, so the missing 4 cents = the old 40 reis / current 4 centavos). In the Lisbon post office through which it passed, double the missing value of 0.80 was handwritten, which was applied to the destination post office, in Paredes de Coura, the stamps of PORTEADO / 80 reis = 8 centavos / with REPUBLICA surcharge, which was paid by the recipient.
