Issue IV. May 11th, 1863.
One value. Engraved and printed by the American Bank Note Co., on white wove paper; yellowish gum, machine-perforated 12. The design is exactly the same as that of the One Cent of the last issue, excepting the value. Shape, upright rectangular. ([Illustration 95.])
T. “NOVA SCOTIA.” B. “TWO CENTS.”
- 2 c., lilac, brownish-lilac (shades).
Remarks.—Some very dangerous and well-executed forgeries of this and the previous set of stamps exist. They are quite as well engraved as the real stamps, and were it not that the designs are of somewhat smaller dimensions, they would be most difficult to detect.
