Description
Revenue. 1898-9 “$50 Pahang” on $5 Perak, mint. BPA Certificate (1990) states “small part o.g.” and “Colour faded”, both comments appearing rather harsh. An extremely rare stamp, prepared as the result of a misunderstanding; about 20 were sold and most were immediately attached to deeds. McClellan R11
Footnote
The word POSTAGE on the stamp was not obliterated. While no fiscally used examples are recorded, one exists on a philatelic cover
