Austria

Special rate of 15 Kr. between Trieste and the Ionian Islands up to 1867- the Austrian Lloyd had treaties with
the Ionian Islands, which must have been overtaken by Greece after the Ionian Islands came to Greece April1864
politically and January 1865 postally Up to now nothing could be found in the agreements between Greece
and Austria neither in Greece nor in Austria- but the examples show the existence of this rate after 1865!

• Registered letter from Trieste 2. 3. 1867 franked with 30 Kreuzer including the fee for registration
Contrary to the treaty between Austria and Greece was the postage equal to the registration fee
the total amount was 15 + 15 = 30 Kreuzer and could be stuck even on the front.
