Queen Isabella II
5-Cuartos

Gooding #12F1 Excellent forgery and very similar in design to the original.
There is a colon between "CORREOS' and 'INTERIOR', with the top period
quite faint and closer to the 'S' than 'I'. The bottom horizontal line on the
'E' in 'INTERIOR' slopes downward slightly and touches the 'R'. The top lip
is completely inked, unlike the original which has both lips outlined. The
edges around the 'O' in 'FRANCO' is jagged, unlike the smooth curves in the
original.
Gooding #12F2 Issued in dark red. The bottom loop of 'S' of 'CORREOS' is
closed. The spandrels are over-inked and hardly visible. The '5' of '5 Cs' is
broken between the top horizontal line and the vertical stroke, almost
appearing as a '3'. Known used with square dotted cancellation.
