80 CENTESIMI

As stated in the general introduction I will limit myself to list and represent (when I have available the images) only the basic color families, leaving out all the infinite catalogues shades that I list a at the end of the page just for knowledge and completeness (click here to go to this section now). I adopted the scheme used by most catalogues to divide the shades on the basis of the year of issue.
This value was printed with only one plate.
ATTENTION: the stamps here presented do have just an INDICATIVE value in relationship to the color shades: any system composed by scanner + monitor + video will give back colors even quite different from the ones I have chosen. For this reason the scans in this page CANNOT be used as absolute reference but only as approximate indication of the shades.
