Hi. As you can see from the photo, the letter I in Mauritius has an extra bit on the top making it look like a letter P, I cant find any reference to this being an error in the issue, can anyone help please. Thank you.
I concur with Northerner0; looks like some foreign material on the printing plate. I have seen a few stamps with insect bodies in the ink. Here's one that is similar to yours. Notice "LEONARBO".
Thank you all for your replies , it looks very much like the Leonardo stamp glitch but I will get myself a UV lamp as suggested by Peter, I am sure it will be useful .
