1862/67, Large Hermes Heads (consecutive printings): The value of 5 lepta with Control Number looking as "15", as a light printing of a spacer appears to the left of "5" (similar to Coundouros 29.3.1), used at "Syros" (dotted "67"), rare & superb

1862/67, Large Hermes Heads (consecutive printings): The value of 20 lepta, with clear Double printing of the Control Numbers (circa 0,5mm), used at "Nafplion" with dotted canceler "15". Broken "0" at left and right of the lower part, very rare error and very fine
