 * In 1858, separate issues for the island of Sicily were issued. These are engraved portraits of Ferdinand II in various shades. These are normally cancelled with a 3-sided frame so as to not obliterate the king's portrait. Forgeries (not engraved) and forged cancels exist.
 * In 1860, new designs for the provisional government were issued. They are inscribed POSTE / FRANCO / BOLLO with the embossed head of Victor Immanuel II and denominated in Grana. Froged cancels exist.

In 1861, Sicily became part of the newly created Italy.
