1891 "2" in Black on 3c. Blue Card (HG 9a)
The Penang postal authorities eared that stocks of the "two/cents" surcharged card might not be received from Singapore in time to have them on sale on 15 November and so, faced with a problem, took the initiative and first surcharged a total of 500 3c. cards (both single and reply) with a large "2" in black, followed by 250 in red (both single and reply).
1891 "2" in black on 3c blue single and reply cards, unused, very fine
