Just to clarify my post, the 7-, 12- and 20-peseta stamps were issued December 4, 1974, so several months before the 4p. Looks like some albums might treat all four of them together? |

My only guess is that the guy who created the design used the 1 peseta stamp as a guide. |

It is not an error Rod. Spain started using PTA on all it's stamps after 1975, as seen in illustrations in my Scott catalogue. |

So in other words, they made a mistake with the 4 Peseta stamp and then just stuck with it. "No, that was entirely according to plan, and really we just like it better that way." |

It seems that over half the stamps I used to get in that orange/red bag-o-stamps from Woolworth's in the late sixties were of this dude Yes, I remember that too, and the most common I found was the 1 pta orange. I still have my original collection with about 20 or so different used. I should try and complete it. |
