Description
Kodi: 1934 (22 May) 'Bromide' (34 x 54mm) of the original composite artist's essay (based on the general colonial frame plate) for the frame of the 1s 'KODI' (poll tax) stamp. Distinguished from the subsequent die proof by the '1' numerals in the value tablets and the shorter letters of 'MANDATED TERRITORY OF TANGANYIKA'. Light horizontal bend at top but a unique and interesting item, being the forerunner of all the 'KODI' issues. Ex De La Rue archives.
