1983 "Exporta" Issue 20 Pesos "Hierro Forjado", paper 5, 37.5 mm, featuring both known errors in a block of ten from positions 21 to 30, mint n.h. This remarkable multiple includes eight examples of the scarce 37.5 mm format (only 8,300 sheets issued), as well as two significant plate errors: position 27 displays the rare dot in front of the eagle’s beak (only four such errors per sheet of 50), while position 26 shows the extremely rare combination of the dot in front of the beak and the horizontal stripe pointing to the left (an error that occurs only once per sheet). According to Enrique Sánchez, based on recent transactions, values for "paper 5" stamps are approximately $300-500 for the 37.5 mm variety, $1,200 for the position 27 error, and $1,600 for position 26 with the dual error. 2025 MEPSI certificate.
