Greece: The Landscape Issues 80 Lepta - 1927
Die proofs & lmperforate stamps
I"KEPKYPA ..
A pair of imperforate stamps from the imprimatur sheet
Frame and vignette of the "Canal of Corinth" stamp that
with part inscription at the bottom from the «ALnlOTH»
was issued in the S, SO & 80 lepta denominations for the
printing works at Corfu. This is the first recorded
1927 issue and the two SO lepta for the 1931-3S issue,
imperforate example although it is logical to assume that
one of which was never circulated.
there should be more of these stamps as a whole sheet
must have been printed. However, no other example has
been ever recorded and in fact this has surfaced in 2010.
