"The telegraph stamps from Tibet were for long time dismissed as Cinderella’s, produced only for collectors etc. But recent research lead to the conclusion that these stamps indeed served a function as Wireless Telegraph stamps, used to pay the telegraph fees.
Due to the fact that for a long time no one took care of these stamps, they are quite rare now and much sought after. The offered stamp is the rarest stamp in the set of 5 wireless telegraph stamps of Tibet and demand high prices. Nomination is 5 Sang and the stamp is in very fine mint condition."
