1949 (Dec 22) Chinese style cover from Kwangsi Peiliu to Hong Kong, franked on reverse Kwangsi Silver Yuan x 7, total value 50c Silver Yuan, matching the Hong Kong airmail double registered postage. Peiliu is Nanning's airport town, but the airplanes and facilities had been removed since mid November 1949. Though airmail postage was paid, this letter could only be delivered by express. Peiliu was liberated on Nov 30. This is a post-liberation usage example of Silver Yuan.
