portuguise postal rates
Svend:
Your first message was misleading as the stamp on the wrapper was 20 Reis and not 25 Reis as you stated. In the 1880s, 10 Reis paid the postcard rate to Portugal and Spain, while 20 Reis was the postcard rate to other countries. I suspect that the wrapper contained printed matter and thus would be carried at the 20 Reis rate. 20 Reis was worth about one penny (1d) sterling. Blair
