Description

1900 50 Pfennig showing a unique double usage, with the stamp bearing a Berlin 22/11 (19)00 cds and was most likely used on mail to China, and maybe due to the soft strike the stamp was used again, now with an additional "China" handstamp and Tienstin cancel. First offered in auction 1938, with signatures and three certificates enclosed incl. recent Jäschke -Lantelme cert. (2025). A rarity in perfect condition, already a "normal" 50 Pfennig MiNr.13 is a key item of Colonial Philately, as a double usage unique and a showpiece for illustrating the usage of the handstamp in China 1900-01 (Michel €17'000 EURO for normal used stamp).
