Additional information:The stamps were sold only on the days of the celebrations (April 20 and 21) and were valid until April 25, 1901 for the affixing of letter correspondence only for the interior of Bulgaria. 51-52 are printed with 5 types of photo clichés, arranged sequentially in the printed form of the postal sheet (twice per line), having different characteristic defects in the image. Each horizontal bar of five brands contains all five types of clichés. At 15 tbsp. l. Type V does not contain any of the features shown in Types I-IV. The following varieties can be defined as more significant: 51 type IV - a white spot like a wedge, starting from the lower part of the left frame (4th and 9th mark of the row); 52 type II - deformation of the elements from the top of the ornament-braid, above, between "18" and "76" (2nd and 7th mark); 52 type IV - a white spot joins the lower part of the "8" of "1876" with the decorative braid at the top of the mark, another large white spot joins the same tangle to the upper left part of the white frame of the medallion with the ball (4th and 9th mark). There are stamps with an error in the year - "1870", "1873" and "1878", instead of "1876", as well as without serration. The designs for the stamps were presented by the committee for the construction of the monument "Tsar Osvoboditel". It is assumed that the artist of the stamps is Haralampi Tachev. From 51-52 there are fakes.
