#21F2. A rather crude forgery. Most of
the stalked pearls in the side frames touch the inner or outer curved lines
of the frame. There is no stop after "CENT", and the stops under "o' and
"e" of "Po Fe" are represented by dashes or hyphens, level with the bottoms
of the large capitals instead of being level with their centers.
There are no
curved lines of shading round the star ornaments in the corners of the
stamp. The chain pattern, round the outer edge of the dark central oval
is altogether absent. |
