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.
