JOHORE 1977 (VARIETY) 2C DANAUS MELANIPPUS WITH BLACK SHIFT
2c Danaus Melanippus single, printed photogravure by Harrison, with down shift of black resulting in the state arms partially obscuring the value. Scarce. Fine unmounted mint. SG183var; SC177a; ISC189var
Note: two black plates were used for printing – one for the main part of the design and one for the portrait, state name and arms – which explains why the main part of the design is unaffected
