The first notable change to Vatican City postmarks occurred on January 1, 1930, when the legend "CITTA del VATICANO" appeared instead of "POSTE VATICANE". Later on, the new legend appears with the star spacer mark in large and small sizes with 5, 6, or 8 points, asterisks with 6 or 8 points; rosettes with 6 points; Maltese crosses; and the plain "plus" sign. These postmarks show "CITTA del VATICANO" and have the word "POSTE" at the bottom for regular mail, and the words "POSTA AEREA" for airmail.
