THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF FIVE SYLLABIC 9 OF 6 SEN IN UNUSED CONDITION

1874, 6 sen violet brown, syllabic 9 (ri), position 6, extremely fresh impression and exquisitely centred with uncharacteristically wide equal margins all around, lightly hinged original gum. A choice superb example. Cert. Philatelic Museum Expert Committee (2016).

One of just five unused examples known of this syllabic, see the Yamazaki Yoshiyuki (Narumi 2018) plating handbook in an incredibly fine state of preservation making this the finest example of the rare unused 6 sen syllabics native paper exhibited in the Yamada collection. (JSCA ¥4,000,000; Michel €30,000).

Note: Illustrated on page 170 of “The Cherry Blossom Issues of Japan 1872-1876” by Dr. Soichi Ichida (1965), as well as in the 2023 version of the JSCA catalogue to represent this syllabic.
