465 FCFA - Central African CFA franc

Although this issue was authorized by the Central African Postal administration, it was not sold in Central Africa, but only distributed by the Central African philatelic agency Impressor S.A. for distribution onto the philatelic market. This item was excessively produced effecting its philatelic value negatively.

All the stamps from post 26 to 57 were legitimate stamps to be used by the postal system of the issuing country, apart from the Guinea-Bissau stamp in post 53 which although issued by the relevant authority was only for the philatelic market and not the postal system. The following stamp was a local unauthorized issue from Daretown, New Jersey. The Cadillac Local Post started in 1953. Apparently, when the service began, the mail was carried in a 1952 Cadillac Coupe Deville over a 60-mile route starting and ending at Wildwood, N.J., on Cape May."

That, as far as I am aware, is the last Gutenberg postage stamp (certainly the legitimate ones).
