Forgeries exist of these stamps (see pictures above, I have seen the values 20 r, 50 r, 60 r, 130 r, 200 r and 500 r, but probably all values were forged). The easiest way to recognize these forgeries is to compare the ornament above the last 'R' of 'RECEBER'; in the forgery it is not nicely done:

(Reduced sizes, left forgery, right genuine stamp)
