Item Description

1911 Romania 10 Bani Revenue General Duty Stamp WW I German Military Occupation Overprint Unused Hinge Mark Spotty Gum During 1917 and 1918, German occupation stamps were issued for the Military Administration in Romania. The current stamps of Germany, as well as some of the Postage Due and Postal Tax stamps of Romania, were overprinted and / or re-valued. The M.V.i.R. overprint, used for many of these German and Romanian stamps, stands for "Militärverwaltung in Rumänien" or "Military Administration in Romania". At the beginning of June 1917, three Germania-type stamps were overprinted and re-valued in Romanian currency, for use as German occupation stamps in Romania. All of them, except the the 40 Bani on 30 Pf. denomination stamp, are shown in the image above (Mi. #1-3, Sc. Romania #3N1-3). The surcharges were applied in Berlin and were printed in black ink. The boxed M.V.i.R. overprints were applied in Bucharest. The overprint on the 20 Pf. stamp is in black. The other two denominations were overprinted in red.
