Queen Isabella II
2-Reales
Gooding #5F1 Engelhardt Fohl Forgery. Roughly engraved in
Taille-Douce with a coarse design. The inscription 'CORREOS 1854 Y 1855'
appears at the top of the stamps instead of the bottom. Value reads '2 Rl'
instead of '2 Rs Ftes'. The '2' in '2Rl' appears to have been retouched or
altered. (Same die as Gooding #1F1, 2F2 and 4F2) Almost identical die as above. May have been retouched. The
sixth pearl from the top left is broken. The alignment of pearls on the right
are not exactly the same, with the center pearl appearing like a sideways
'D'; which in the other types is slightly higher and appears slightly
slanted. The right side pearls seem to have shifted The '2' in '2Rl' appears
retouched but not as exaggerated as Type B. Gooding #5F2 Issued in |
