| Suit: | 3 of Diamonds |
|
| Country: | Baden (German States) | |
| Name: | Bold Numeral Value, color error | |
| Year: | 1851 | |
| Denomination: | 9 kreuzer | |
| Description: | Color paper error. It is almost certain that a press operator mistook the printing plate of the 9 kreuzer inverted for the 6 kreuzer. The 6 kreuzer was printed on the green paper, and the 9 kreuzer was normally printed on rose colored paper. This unused example seems to have undergone additional color changes over time. It was in a safe or strong room, when fire broke out. High temperatures apparently caused the change of color from blue-green paper, to a yellowish or pale green. The Grand Duchy of Baden was among the first to accept an interchange of correspondence at fixed rates between Prussia and Austria. | |
| Color: | Color Error, Black ink on Bluish green paper | |
| Used/Unused: | Unused | |
| Perfed/Unperfed: | Imperforate | |
