1997, China PRC essay "Tang dynasty painting" without country name or face value, printed with a printing press sold by the company Goebel located in Darmstadt (Germany) to the Chinese post. The original sheet of this essay shows in the top margin the 1997 date of impression and the country name "China". Goebel was one of the largest manufacturer of printing presses in the world, the PRC post was one of their customers. This essay design was used to test the machine sold to China, by its purpose it is quite similar to the 1969 PRC Red Lantern essay (also without face value), but this 1997 essay is much rarer. Here is a single extremely fine mint never hinged example.
