franked with two Fukien Postal District Basic stamps handstamped “Postage One fen,” paying a total of 2 fen, tied by Putian date stamp. This cover correctly pays the concessional international blind persons’ rate of 2 fen (ordinary international rate 10 fen) in force at the time. The Fukien Postal District issued Basic stamps in May 1949, among which the handstamped “One fen” is the only handstamped type; genuinely used examples are scarce, and international usages conforming to the blind persons’ concessional rate are particularly rare. This cover clearly demonstrates the practical use of Fukien Basic stamps in the early Silver Yuan postal period, as well as the special rate structure for blind persons’ mail. Combining international postal route significance with specialized postal service usage, it represents a rare and highly important item of postal history with strong exhibition and research value.
