SG11

Two Pence value on white paper. A few shades in this group. This the 'Deep blue' shade.

In 1858, Richardson changed to a white paper which again had no watermark. Most of the paper was very thick and soft, but stamps were also printed on a harder and less thick paper. The 2d was printed first in pale blue and then in ever deeper shades of blue. This colour listed in CP as only on 'thick, soft' paper.

1857-61.
No wmk.
Imperf.
Soft white paper
Recess printed by J. Richardson Auckland
SG 11 / A2c(4)
