Item Description
This is the currency-turned-stamps of 1920 Latvia, which is for sale. The Latvian Latgale Relief issues were printed on the unfinished banknotes for the government of Colonel Bermondt-Avalov and on so-called German "Ober-Ost" money, according to Scott Publishing. The 1938 letter accompanying these two monetary notes-turned-stamps, suggests that the government of Latvia needed to issue stamps but was short on paper. Subsequently, the unfinished banknotes in the printing office were appropriated for use as stamps. The stamps are actually on the back of the notes, while the face of the banknotes in original never hinged gum.The stamps have nice margins, strong perforations -- although there is some separation to be expected, fresh color, and full original never hinged gum. Please study the images for clarity, color, condition, and centering. Of note, the 1r reverse image is correct, the banknote is upside down from the stamps.
