China 1878 3ca vermillion, printed on thin paper with 2.5mm spacing, SG2a.
A complete unmounted mint sheet of 25 with full margins and original gum and just the merest hint of toning.
A rare and spectacular multiple of this rare colour variety of the "Candarins" first stamp issue from the Chinese Empire and almost unheard of in unmounted mint condition.
A spectacular showpiece.
