Genuine and Forgery
Gooding #21F1.
Lithographed on strongly colored wove paper, rather thinner than that of the genuine. Most of the stalked pearls in the side frames touch the inner or outer curved lines of the frame. The thin inner line of the frame, below the value, is incomplete and only shows a short piece under "CENT" and under "Po Fe".

The "T" of "CENT" has no bottom stroke. The line which marks the red part of the upper lip is too short, and does not go to the end of the profile.

The stop before "CORREOS"  is a good deal nearer the "C" than to the end of the label; and the stop after "CORREOS" is rather nearer to the "S" than to the end of the label. The bottom loop of the "3" is broken and ends in a large dot. (Similar die as Gooding 22F1, 23F1 and 24F1).
