Cyprus 1882 '½' on ½pi emerald-green, watermark CA, type 8 surcharge, left marginal block of 12 (3x4) showing four rows of positions 1-3 of the setting, with the printing variety 'Spur on 1' on the right hand column, SG25/c.

A brilliant mint positional block with original gum (six of the stamps are unmounted mint). Light gum bends, to be expected, and mentioned for accuracy but a rare and exceptional philatelic showpiece.

This block not only preserves a substantial section of the original surcharge setting but also illustrates one of its most desirable constant printing varieties, making it an exceptional study and exhibition piece for the specialist collector.
