Pierron MS300MCa, £350; S.G. 150a, £220 Estimate £ 80-100 Note: The missing black results in the loss of country name, portrait and arms. Two black plates were used for printing – one for the main part of the design and one for the country name, portrait and arms – which explains why the main part of the design is unaffected.
