Gooding #20F1
Bartels C22.1

Lithographic counterfeit issued in dull deep green. The lettering is irregular. The eye is not very well defined and appears to be looking away. The left vertical stroke of spandrel in the top right corner does not curve at the bottom.

 

Gooding #20F2 and Gooding #20F3 (Merged)

Rather course forgery issued in shades of green and pale green. The 'E' of 'CORREOS' is diagonal and leans towards the left. The spandrels are crude and do not curl upwards as compared to some in the genuine stamp. Shading around the eye is very heavy giving the appearance of a large tear drop. The vertical stroke of 'L' in 'PLATA' is diagonal and leans left and has a short horizontal stroke. The 'F' has very short horizontal lines.
