6165 (*) image1872/73 (Dated 1289): The reconstructed sheet of four unused, with
1 Rupee reddish purple on yellowish soft wove paper in a horizontal
pair (positions 1-2) and 6 Shahi (½ rupee) reddish-purple on
yellowish soft wove paper in the unique horizontal pair (positions
3-4), both in fine similar matching shades with very large even
margins all round, minor thin spots of no importance and mentioned

British Library, the 6 Shahi pair being one of just two known -
this being unique in private hands with the other also housed in
the Tapling collection. A magnificent reconstruction and an
Exhibition piece of the highest calibre. Signed Todd AIEP.
