Article 5: Issues of the 20c "Large Cow" (20cLC) Value
This stamp is one of the 1935-51 definitives. There are other 20 centavos issues in this series: the 20c small format cattle definitive, and the 20c Guemes definitive. This stamp saw most of its use during World War II. There are three separate pages associated with the 20cLC issues: one dedicated to plate varieties and printing shifts between the two plates used, and another dedicated to postal usages. Below is the first 20cLC issued, the 20cLC1E, on watermarked cream paper with the first watermark. |
