Main Index


The 20c, 60c and 1.25 lire stamps were issued in March and April 1927. Due to a postage rate change the 50c was issued in September.

The 20c is normally carmine. Versions overprinted for use in the colonies were printed in different colours, and unoverprinted copies of the 20c in violet are known.

The 50c is known with a dot after the 50. This is found in position 42 in three of the four blocks of 60 that make up the sheet.
