Hello! I recently got this stamp in a little mix of world stamps included in a larger swap of coins from the Netherlands. From what I've read, Manama was a bit of a scam and these stamps weren't actually used for anything, but I haven't seen this one in my searching. Does anyone have any more information on this? It looks like it was quite neatly cancelled. I hope my scans are okay.

Neatly cancelled, yes, but in reality it is a CTO (cancelled-to-order) stamp.

Here's an ebay listing that shows just how the pair of panes of the stamps were printed:

The stamp you have scanned appears to be Michel #79 and as you will note five (5) stamps of the same design were printed on the same pane.
