franked with three stamps, paying a total of 16 fen, correctly matching the contemporaneous rate (5 fen domestic letter rate plus 11 fen registration fee), tied by Hwangkiohya cds and arriving Chungking the same day. The key feature of this cover is the simultaneous use of two different local post office name overprints (“Hwangkiohya” and “Chungking”), representing a rare mixed usage of locally overprinted stamps during the early Silver Yuan period. Such overprints were applied by local post offices on basic stamps as a provisional measure to restrict inter-area usage amid currency instability and exchange disparities, reflecting distinct regional postal characteristics. According to current records, this is the only known cover bearing two different local post office name overprints used together, a rare and significant item illustrating the complex transitional postal operations of 1949, with important postal history and exhibition value.
