Description
1875, 20 sen red, syllabic 8 (chi), plate 4, a remarkable sheet reconstruction of 40,
including plate variety in position 10, only featuring
used examples. As expected for this high denomination, almost
exclusively foreign mail cancellations are exhibited, except for an example with inland double circle of Nagano. The plate 4 is very rare and has just recently been confirmed to be fully reconstructed. No unused sheet of the 20 sen red plate 4 has survived, so this reconstruction is of high significance.
