Two colour designs were chosen by the Zanzibar Government when placing their first definitives order with us on 12 March 1896, when they asked that "colours in this shade will clash as little as possible. The 1 anna and 2 rupees colours were therefore changed to black and green respectively". A wonderful, truly splendid and extremely rare Appendix sheet in the foremost quality. (Image 1)
