1912-23 KGV $2 green & red on yellow with white back, wmk crown CA, error WATERMARK SIDEWAYS (crown pointing to left looking from back). Postally VFU with Singapore cds. SG 211(w) cat £55 as normal & unlisted with the wmk error (in comparison the only listed wmk sideways on this issue is the 10c which cat £1.50 as normal & £4500 as the wmk sideways error. The rarity of wmk error on $2 high value has to be much greater as no bulk quantities of $2 stamps would exist unlike low values. & also a $2 stamp is something previous collectors would have checked for wmk to sort the 1912 from the 1921 issue, so examples are much more likely to have been spotted). The only known example & an important new discovery which will doubtless get listed in future SG catalogues. 2023 Ceremuga photo cert. (P)
Estimate A$7000
