Note: This error was first reported in the "Philatelic Record" in August 1891 and listed by Stanley Gibbons in 1937. No distinction has been documented regarding the upright or inverted printings on the reverse. However, from examples examined, the upright printing on the reverse is very rare, with a couple of examples recorded.
