Java. 2 Cent Moehammadijah in pair on green postcard from Djokjakarta 31.12.02 to Bogor. The postal rate is 3½ cent, maybe the sender liked to use the 2 cent green Moehammadijah stamp instead of the brown 3½ cent or does not have a 3½ cent available. The printed text lower left suggests to use Moehammadijah stamps
