Shilling Halfpenny

240on

Similar to the 4½d / 6½d combination, the 2/6d Abo and the 1/0½d were prepared on the same master plate, each design having 240 impressions built from a 2 on transfer roller (per design). Issued in sheets of 120.

A single composite alto plate was made, from which 3 composite nickel electros were grown, These electros were subsequently halved to provide 3 printing plates of upper and lower sheets for each design.
