1871, 200 mon vermilion, plate II, position 19, tied by blue framed non-standard "Ken" to the reverse of an illustrated cover from Tokyo to Kofu, Kai Province.

On the address side, framed mark "year of the monkey 9th month 3rd day / Tokyo postal bureau", or Meiji 5.9.3 (5 October 1872). Address largely inked out.

An appealing illustrated cover, combining decorative appearance with a clear Tokyo framed "Ken" cancellation on the 200 mon Plate II.
