Description

1871, 200 mon vermilion, plate 2, position 8, private perforation 11; showing the “head portion” of non-standard “Kanazawa Kensazumi” cancellation.

Private perforations are extremely rare on “Dragon” stamps, any usage other than in Nagasaki is a major rarity. As a curiosity, Dr. Ichida states in his “The Dragon Stamps of Japan 1871-1872” handbook of 1959 to have only seen three examples of the perforated 200 mon, including one from plate 2.
