    5 stotinki deep rose & rose, Error of Colour, a fresh mint example of excellent colour with large part og. An exceptional example of this great rarity in superb quality. Signed E. Diena Scott 13a = $ 3'000/Mi = € 3'600.

    Note: The error was discovered as early as October 1886, the first dated example however being November 13, 1886, with examples known used from both Sofia and Varna. As examples considered genuine are not from the same plate position these stamps are not likely to be from cliches misplaced in the sheets of 5 stotinki stamps, so it is eminently possible that the Sofia and Varna finds may represent two different error sheets.
