 1903

stamp, the 5ct, 25ct and 75ct correctly denominated, the balance being 75ct denominations. A lovely pair of sheets and important exhibition items. For T150-164 The 5ct and 25ct differed from the other values in that the 5ct value is in colour
on a white ground, whereas the other values are in white on coloured grounds: the 25ct was printed from a special 80-set plate (Image)
