The franking on the left I recognize but is the one on the right one that was ever used or just a cheap attempt to make a regular Austrian stamp more valuable?
Thanks vayolene, yes indeed they are in Kreuzer, 'franking' is an old term for cancellations.
The one on the left I had seen before but never the cancellation on the right and I wondered if it was a legitimate one or simply and old and poor forgery.
Thanks gmot! I have some of the one on the left but not the right. I hadn't seen the one on the right so was wondering if it was legit. If you have several then it must be I just haven't seen it :-)
I doubt anyone could derive "Frank" (as currency) from "KR." In common use, frank is another word for cancellation. For the proper/technical use, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franking
