10 CENTESIMI


I invite you to go to the general introduction to the issue for the technical info and for the paper types of this stamp. A curious detail is how the ink of this postage stamp tend to get oxidized in evident way to the point that it's not rare to find pieces very dark (especially used parts). I represent here an usual sample (Fig. 1) and one very oxidized (Fig. 2).
