franked with a Dr. SYS 500 Yuan stamp surcharged as a 2 fen West Szechwan Basic stamp, tied by Pengshan “38.7.25” cds. This cover correctly pays the 2 fen printed matter rate in effect from Apr 29 to Jul 31, 1949. Ilustrated in Patrick Choy, China Silver Yuan Stamps (3rd Edition), page 35, Figure 1-17, with clear literature provenance. A representative example of early Silver Yuan postal history, of solid exhibition and research value.
