1925 Shanhu (25 Sep) to Phnom Penh. Red band cover, f.w. Junk x5 on reverse, in total of 10c, tied by Kwangtung Sanhu cds. Transit Kiyang, Swatow. Arrived Phnom Penh (4 Oct). Cover opened out for dis- play. Rather early Qiaopi to Cambodia, probably jointly delivered by two Qiaopiju. As the Chinese community in Cambodia was much smaller than Vietnam, examples are particularly scarce.

Junk 10c while another one frankless, both applied with “Swatow Kwangyi Dispatch / Annam Kiyuan remittance” vertical seal. Similar with incoming Qiaopi, outgoing Qiaopi were also sent in bulk. Howerver, as French Indochina did not allow sending Qiaopi in bulk in 1927, China Post followed suit accordingly.
