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