Queen Victoria ½d · malformed C in CA watermark

A watermark-form variety in which the C of CA bends round to resemble a small O, expressly described on the 1885 halfpenny.

1 rekords ta’ bolli · ½d

One explicitly reported watermark-form variety. No additional inverted or reversed combination is assumed.

Noti tar-riċerka: The 1885 heading anchors the base design only. The individual stamp's bounded date does not claim that the defective watermark was issued in 1885.
