There are two types of the machine-made overprints
By the order of the Italian National Council, which under the Allied Administration took over all the power in Rijeka, Hungarian stamps were
overprinted from December 3 to 23, 1918. Complete sheets were overprinted with the machine-made overprint from December 3 to 5, 1918 in Urania, the
printing-house in Rijeka. Only a small part was overprinted in incomplete sheets.
The characteristics of overprints you can find in the book.
There are six types of the hand overprint
While complete sheets were machine overprinted in the printing-office Urania,
partial sheets, as well as single stamps, were hand overprinted in Adolf Kirchhofer & Co., the printing-house in Rijeka. It was done on December 6, 16,
20 and 23, 1918 with the overprint consisting of metal typographic characters. On December 23, the last day, all remaining Hungarian stamps from the post-office were overprinted.
