Forgery.
A very dangerous forgery in color that is a fair match for the genuine but
there is a little more red. The impression is good and there is little sign
of loss of white space except in the horizontal lines of shading. The centre
stroke of the ‘F’ of ‘FILIPINAS’ is weak or broken, there is a dot in the
upright of the ‘P’, three white spots in the ‘N’ and a nick on the right of
this letter. There is an indentation on the left of the ‘U’ of ‘UNA’ and
there is a white spot in the right leg of the ‘A’. Die Proofs are also known
in colour.
