Description

1941 Back of envelope bearing machine oveprinted “Mithology” single 2d and 50L+50L, “Previdenza” single 50L, used outside the Ionian in Islands and tied by Lehena cds (Patras) and “2” within small circle. Greece disagreed for the usage of its stamps overprinted by the Italians in occupied territories, and in a show of protest, some post offices in Continental Greece exceptionally and very occasionally accepted the Cephalonia and Ithaca overprinted values; these usages are very rare.
