SELANGOR 1971 (VARIETY) 15C PRECIS ORITHYA BLACK SHIFT
15c Precis Orithya pair, printed litho by Bradbury Wilkinson, with a striking shift of black leaving the territory name below the country name and the Sultan's portrait and arms partially superimposed over the main design. Scarce and unusual. Fine unmounted mint. SG151var; SC133var; ISC157a
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
