EdziuMM: Romania Scott#276 design A54 emerald 5 Lei with Edinti Hotin postmark.
Rod222: In Romanian, 'MANDATE' means 'Postal orders' and they are used, indeed, to send money via Post.
Hotin, nowadays part of the Republic of Moldavia, was almost 600 years ago the capital of Moldavia, ruled for 54 years by Stefan The Great. Since, it has been conquered by Tartars, Polish, Ukrainians, Russians and it was briefly part of Greater Romania, after WWI.
Edinit, as etymology, I believe to come from an Old Slavon root meaning 'unique'.
Well, hopefully, the above will motivate you guys to keep the stamps
