Lot 30057 – 1871, 500 mon, greyish yellow green, plate 1, earliest printing

1871, 500 mon, greyish yellow green, plate 1, earliest printing, margins ranging from good to enormous showing part of neighbouring stamp at left, cancelled by « head portion » of large « Fushimi Kensazumi » handstamp. A highly desirable example showing the part of this elusive cancellation combining the regular and tensho scripts. A choice example.
