Details

In 1909, bi-color triangular labels with common designs but with different denominations for ten countries were produced. They were sold in Austria (heller), Denmark (ore), France (centimes), Germany (pfennig), Great Britain (pence), Hungary (coating mastic), Italy (centesimos), the Netherlands (cents), Russia (kopecks) and USA (cent). They display ten different ancient monuments and ruins of the region, with 'Sicilia' and 'Calabria' in the lower corners and the date of the disaster '1908' at the bottom of the window. Each label was sold in 10c, 10pf, 1½d or currency equivalent. The labels were printed se-tenant in sheets of 50.
