When Austria occupied part of Romania during World War I, it used its KuK
FELDPOST postage stamps with surcharges in the Romanian currency system of bani
and lei. (These stamps were used by Austria in many different areas and were left blank at
the bottom so local values could be printed on later.)
There were several different denominations used in Romania by Austria, from 3 bani up
to 4 lei, that were issued in 1917. The same range was used for a new series in 1918, with
KuK FELDPOST stamps that were almost identical in design to the previous group but
had an extra empty box at the bottom where the name of the unit was printed, making it
more legible.
1918 Engraved
Perf 12.5 Unwatermarked
Vignette : Emperor Karl of Austria
Exist Imperforate $125
Perf and Imperf with red opt
Inverted Overprints
2 Lei Carmine on yellowish
3 lei Dark green on bluish
4 Lei Carmine on greenish
