This stamp was printed from Plate 4, which originally produced imperforate stamps and was used only briefly after the introduction of perforations in 1857 before being discontinued. Original-gum examples of stamps from Plate 4 are extremely scarce. This choice stamp comes from Position 67R4, which is clearly identified as Type III in the Neinken book plating chart.
