1856, 4c black on magenta, cut octagonally with large margins, initialled "E.D.W", with very neat Berbice double circle ds, extremely fine and very rare in such outstanding condition (even the examples in the "Imperium" collection had some form of imperfection), probably the finest known example with the Berbice cancel (S.G. £25'000).
