 * In 1858, five different engraved designs showing the coat of arms were issued on watermarked paper, inscribed "FRANCO BOLLO POSTA NAPOLITANA". Impressions range from very sharp (new plates) to muddy and patchy (due to plate wear). Reprints on unwatermarked paper exist.


 * In 1860, two values in blue/deep blue were issued by the provisional government. The ½ tornesastamp was like the previous issue and the 1t value had a cross design. These were both inscribed as before. See: Forgeries of the Naples 1860 issue
