1859 1 Gr. Plate I, state I, deep rust-brown (bruno ruggine intenso), position 87, showing retouch, fine four-margined example, used on cover together with 2 Gr. with slightly poor margin. Some punch file holes present. On 1859 (31 Dec.), outer letter sheet from Messina to Catania. Scarce retouch on cover.
A most interesting late usage item combining a well-defined positional variety with strong postal history appeal.
