8 Apr 1899, a very desirable French ovpt. stationery card in use of Chinkiang dollar chop to a good destination of Finland in Northern Europe, and thus rare.

8 Apr 1899, a French 10-cent overpinted "CHINA" stationery card sent from Chinkiang to Finland, cancelled by a black circular Chinkiang dollar chop (8 April) and Shanghai dollar chop (9 April). The stationery card postage is further canceled by the rectangular "I.P.O." (International Postal Order) mark posted in Chinkiang, a Shanghai French P.O. c.d.s., and a Finnish arrival mark. Rare to have a Chinkiang dollar datestamp with the I.P.O. application for postal card to the Northern Europe, making this item quite scarce.
