 1851 - Mercury (1.50 Lire) salmon-rose, thin paper, on complete copy of the Vienna newspaper “Il Corriere Italiano', cancelled “Udine, 2 December 1852' for local delivery. Left margin just touched at top, nevertheless a spectacular and very rare example. Signed E.Diena, who noted: “In my opinion, the piece described is genuine; I signed it ‘E.Diena’ due to its rarity. I am not aware of any other copies on newspaper in such a vivid shade.' (Sassone FG5b - Euro -)
