Where are the 25 Rouble Overprints?

The 25 Rouble overprints were prepared by the Moldovan Post Office but were NEVER put into circulation. Therefore all existing copies are unofficial fakes. Click here for full details listings.

Note: Overprints may appear in a variety of heaviness, from bold to light, randomly throughout this issue (compare No 34 and 35a above). This is just a side effect produced by the rudimentary overprinting process and does not represent distinct varieties.
