The Perfin stamp from Credit Leona Bank

On August 12, 1913, Credit Leona Bank sent a business postcard to one of its customers in the city of Trabzon in northeastern Turkey. A stamp was affixed to the postcard with a Perfin of the initials of the bank, a measure against petty theft by the company’s employees. This is one of the only known copies of the Perfined stamp that survived on a postal item.

The first stamp with the name "Italy"

On February 11, 1863, the Italian Post Office issued for the first time a stamp with the inscription "Italy" (FRANCOBOLLO ITALIANO).
