1961 Visit of President Gronchi to South America 205L rose-violet Mi i, exceptional centring, unmounted, Cat €1500. A superb example of the infamous "Gronchi rosa". Placed on sale on 3.4.1961 but not valid until 6.4.1961, the map on the stamp showed incorrect boundaries for Peru. Stocks were withdrawn on the 4th & the stamp with corrected boundaries was released in black-violet. [Superior to the marginal example sold at our auction of 19.5.2018 for $748]
