I'm all over the place here! I've found little information on this, but did read there were only 25 marked with the 5c surcharge? If anyone has another example in their collection, or more information on this piece, I'd appreciate it and would love to see!

It was a nice find I must say :) I love its colors!

Yes please, it is hard to get excited looking
at a stamp like that.
When smelling a rose, you put it to your nose.

lux - your copy is not the rare version. There are 3 different versions listed in SG Simplified:
5 on 20c
05 on 20c
5c on 20c
There are also forgeries.
You can see the rare version in this link, under Martinique:
