Senf Brothers Forgery. Printed in Leipzig in about 1887 and issued in a dull red or orange shade. The word 'FALSCH' appears in black across the top of the head. It is also known cancelled over the word 'FALSCH'. The 'C' in 'CORREOS' is higher up and does not touch the bottom frame line. The horizontal line in '4' of '1854' points up at the end. The 'C' in 'FRANCO' is very rounded and almost resembles an 'O'. The bottom curve of 'C' in 'Cs' is very rounded, giving the appearance of a 'G'.
