bearing Peking C.I.P. Postage Paid chop and Peking I.G. of Customs cds. in blue. This Postage Paid chop was applied to temporarily replaced the stamps in "Candarin" unit, as the new postage rate by "Silver Dollar" unit will take effect on and after Jan 1, 1897, but the new unit stamps have not been issued yet.

This cover sent on Apr 2, 1897, was the latest used example of this chop known to date. Mizuhara "Huayou Jijin II" vol. 7, p.3.
