1873, 2r. yellow, a large margined pair featuring spectacular overprint variety with each line swapping part of the overprint of the opposite line, resulting in ''Estampillas de Correo Contraseña Estampillas'' in the upper line and ''Contraseña Estampillas de Correo Contraseña'' at bottom, the former including the superfluous ''Contraseña'' word and ''Estampillas de Correo'' in the latter. Two very slight spots of surface rubbing on reverse. A stunning error, this being the only example so far recorded. Cert. Moorhouse. Scott 39 (var). Ex Heister.
