A very rare item, which is often the missing link in coin collections of the 2RP period.
Mint freshness with a high NGC grading only add to the aesthetics of this item, so rarely available in the trade.
The rather quick withdrawal of this design version due to teeth wedging in the stamps resulted in a small issue.
Piece with an apparent left-hand date doubling not described in the literature.
A search of available listings shows that this is only the second banner offered on the auction market with a visible doubling.
