1867 AUSTRIA 3 KREUZER RED ERROR
The second issue of postage stamps for Spain appeared in 1851, with six values of
similar design, including the 2 reales in red, and 6 reales in blue.
The 2 reales error of colour was caused by the accidental insertion of a 2 reales clichin
the printing plate of the 6 reales. This was then printed in blue giving the error.
Only three copies of the stamp are recorded to have survived and this one was the first
to be found. It was subjected to a test for genuineness sometimes made in the nineteenth
Century - it was boiled. This treatment removed almost all of the postmark of which
only a smudge remains today.
