Additional Information The majority of the circulation was transferred to the Bulgarian postal service stations opened in Bucharest and Braila (where the Allied headquarters were located), as well as in the Romanian territories in Dobrudzha captured by the Bulgarian troops. They were used for the correspondence of the local population with Bulgaria. There are stamps with a horizontally or vertically shifted overprint. With a significant horizontal shift, the overprint falls on two neighboring stamps in the sheet, in which the years "1916-1917" appear at the left end of the stamps, and the text "Post in Romania" on the right. In these cases, only the years or only the text appear on the stamps from the extreme vertical columns of the postal sheet. There are also stamps with the years overprinted on the left and right, and the text in the middle. Due to the rapid printing and the simple typographical typesetting, there is a significant number of errors in the text and years of the overprint. From 113 and 114 there are "1919-1917" instead of "1916-1917", and from 114 - with "1619-1917" instead of "1916-1917", with the prices of these varieties varying between 20.00 - 40.00.
