1917-22 Italian Post OfficesPeking1919, 2d. ("2 DOLLARI") on 5l. ultramarine and rose, a superb mint example due to its freshness, the uniform application of the overprint and surcharge, as well as for being precisely centred and therefore showing balanced margins. A quintessential combination of beauty and rarity. Undoubtedly one of the finest of the only 15 examples issued. One of the great gems of the Italian P.O.'s abroad. Cert. Bottacchi, signed Em. Diena. Sassone 30; € 180,000. Photo
