No Longer Available - ZANZIBAR 1895 SG3l Mint

Stock Code: P190001634

1895-96 ½a blue-green, type 1 opt on India, showing the remarkable variety "Diaeresis over last a" resulting from the erroneous use of a German modified "a" instead of the normal letter, fresh large part o.g. From R10/5 of a small late printing from Setting 3. Trivial creasing, not affecting fine appearance. Fascinating and very rare, with few examples recorded. Ex Griffith-Jones and Sturton, with BPA cert (2018). (cat £2000). [The existence of such a German letter in the "Zanzibar Gazette" printing office reflects the cosmopolitan character of the town, with English, French, German, Arabic and Gujrati all in regular use.]
