Most of the stamps were removed from circulation in 1851 but remained valid in postage till 1864.This stamp was printed in black colour with a large numeric denomination in the centre. The engraving of its first variety was done by the wood engraver. Later on, it was replaced by the plaster. This change led to the distortion in the size of the print.
