Lot 40413 – 80 Parale red on white paper, horizontal strip of four,

80 Parale red on white paper, horizontal strip of four, touched at right to very large margins all around, neatly tied and or cancelled by FRANCO/FOLTITSCHENI fancy hs, with straight-line RECEPISSE and FOLTITSCHENI/MOLDOVA/16.1 double-ringed ds alongside, all on folded cover to Jassy, with black arrival bs, a truly outstanding showpiece of the greatest rarity. Cert. Scheller (2023).

The only known strip of four of the 80 parale and the largest recorded multiple on cover. Without a doubt the most valuable multiple on cover of the second issue after the famous Heimbüchler block of six of the 40 parale, also originating from Foltitscheni which sold for CHF175’500 in 2010.
