Foreign Bill: 1890 '40/ FORTY CENTS' on 1r 20 violet and Mauve,
Second of Exchange, the locally surcharged ERROR OF COLOUR,
cancelled with company chop in violet, and dated 25/3/91 in
manuscript. The rarest stamp of the entire issue, emanating from a
small batch of 1r20 value supplied to the colony with the value
printed in mauve rather than the intended green, of which Crofton
and Jones state only 'a small portion' of which were then
surcharged, describing it as 'of considerable rarity'. Rounded
corner at upper right, still very fine and far above average for
this fascinating and elusive stamp, missing from the vast majority
of collections of the issue

with three different Colombo types represented (Type I on 2r8a,
