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. This is just a natural effect produced by the rudimentary overprinting process and does not represent distinct varieties.
