Due to great interest in the first set of postage dues, a second printing (16.4) was prepared, but not sold to the public. The only way to obtain these stamps was to send unfranked mail, in most cases to Durres (at that time the capital of Albania), where the stamps were printed. An interesting item, with 2008 Graf cert.
