Jean-Pierre Mangin declares, "The 225 km of
roads to Tete are not represented on the map shown." While that is true
I wonder if the absence of roads constitutes an error or is simply a
choice of features to include in a small space.
On my stamp I notice another kind of error, a
production error. The "M" in MOÇAMBIQUE, and the left side of the
design are 2 mm out of line with the green side. Also, the Scott
catalog gives the color for the colony on this stamp as orange yellow,
but on the stamp is purple. I checked Paul S. Greenlaw, Affordable
Foreign Errors on the Postage Stamps of the World, but he does not
report this one.
