Variant "II": This details the precise typography or spacing of the overprint text. In this setting, the horizontal distance between the "45" and the "M" of "Marka" is explicitly 2.0 mm wide . (Variant "I" features a narrower 1.5 mm spacing).
Stamp History: The unique underlying triangular stamp was designed and issued by the Estonian Postal Administration to cover the cost of the famous emergency winter "Ice Flights" carrying mail over frozen seas between independent Tallinn and Helsinki.
