1961 short paid Italy-Israel express airmail cover taxed postage dues

Description: Sorting office processed taxed incoming Italian mail: March 1961 era postmarked express airmail cover sent from ROME to addressees at Dan Hotel in TEL AVIV & franked 180L - evidentally short paid as taxed in Italy 18 gold centimes for twice the deficiency (in gold ctms). As of 6 Jan. 1960 Israel's currency was redenominated from fractional 1/1000 Prutot per Lira to 1/100 Agorot per Lira: here, the cover's taxation was unusually processed by the TEL AVIV sorting office - which converted the gold centimes fee using the now revised exchange rate of 0.6ag : 1g ctm (versus 6 prutot : 1 gctm as before), yielding a calculated postage dues tax of 10.8 agorot - rounded up for convenience to 11ag & charged using the sorting office's instructional marking (this unusual). The tax was likely paid in cash & not with franks. Incoming postage dues marked mail is rarely observed with the sorting office's instructional marking. Opened roughtly at top, complete. --- Most of our merchandise ships out from Israel | orders are combined | additional items are charged 75c: DOMESTIC services available are Registered mail (default) and courier mail.
