On the cover, I just affixed a Macau MOP 1.5 stamp out of the normal postage of MOP2.5. The souvenir cover arrived at GPO on 16 October. On 20 October, I went to the GPO to get the mail and paid the postage due. The postage due is: ((1 / 2.5) x 2.3) + 4 = HK$4.9. On the cover, you can see the round-shaped T 1/2.5 postmark from Macau and a rectangular Hong Kong "To Pay" chop. Unluckily, the Hong Kong datestamp postmark is rather unclear.
