Alongside, double-circle "Miyoshi. Bingo 12.1" of Meiji 9.12.1 (1 September 1876). Transit double-circle KG "Onomichi. Bingo 12.2" on the address side, and arrival double-circle N2B2 "Tokyo Meiji 9.12.7".

A notably late usage of the 2 sen Dragon, further enhanced by the scarce Miyoshi kiban cancellation.
