    It is important to note that this is a quite rare letter. Only a few pre-paid letters are known sent with Austrian Post from Moldavia to Sardinia.

    Here it was charged 10 kr. C.M. till the Austria-Moldavia border and 19 kr. including the amount to be paid to Sardinian Post. The tariff of April 1, 1844 was used.

    From the 19 kr, 7 kr. were paid to Sardinian Post for transport to Rayon 3 in which Genoa was located.
