Austrian post offices in Crete
Along with several other nations, Austria maintained its own post offices in Crete at the beginning of the 20th century. Since the unit of money in Crete was the franc, the post office issued Austrian stamps surcharged in centimes and francs, from 1903 on, and in 1908 issued stamps similar to the 60th-year issue of Austria proper, but denominated in the local currency. These last were used until the end of the empire.
