275c), two strikes of 'PT DARWIN/DE11/03/SA' squared-circle cancels, Cat $1750 (£1200). Although often regarded as an error, the bicolour stamps are from the initial run of the first printing. During the print-run, the colour discrepancy was noted
and corrected: see Bill Purves at page 88 where he states that it "...may be regarded as approaching the status of an error". (Image1) (Image2)
