    5 centimes black and pale orange-yellow, second order, in a bright shade, a mint block of six (3 x 2), showing stamp 3 and 6 Type II with 'Dot over Lion's Tongue', fresh colour and extremely fine, an important multiple demonstrating that the plates were altered as Type II usually occurs only in the top right stamp of the top right hand pane, the alteration in cliches possibly due to the later printing of the 50 c. which was eventually issued in July 1879. The sole recorded multiple showing this setting I-I-II / I-I-II, with two examples of Type II within a mixed cliche block, fresh and very fine, large part og. A rarity.

    Note: The proving multiple for the second printing order, the first order shows just the one stamp of Type II within the pane, the second appears to have mixed types as above and the third order (placed on May 21, 1880) only shows Type II stamps.
