Note: This error should not be confused with the double impression varieties which are prevalent in the stamps of South Australia. Occassionally, some stamps were printed double, as in the case of this example, where the complete doubling of the design can be seen at the left. This stamp is almost identical in characteristics to the Ferrari example.
