1862, 180c. yellowish green, a splendid block of four, types 5-6 / 11-12, including subtype at top left featuring colourless flaw in bottom left spandrel. Good impression, displaying large to very large even margins. Two trivial creases, not at all visible on front, still being in outstanding state of preservation. The largest multiple of this value in existence, this being undoubtedly the vastly superior quality block of only four such multiples recorded. This is also the sole block showing a subtype, as well as the only with original gum of the three recorded in this shade. Of exceptional appearance, a precious piece for exhibition. Cert. Hernández Rocha. Ciardi 17c. Ex Del Pont and Sciarra. Starting Price US$ 10,000
