Guatemala Reprint — April 1904
Two different printings of the forged 1878 1 peso Indian Woman issue of Guatemala offered by Béla Szekula.
These stamps were made from original plates on behalf of Galli & Tani, a company in Brussels, who then sold them to Béla.
Today, this reprint seems to be more prevalent than the original. It can be identified by the pineapple in the upper right corner which has seven thick hairs spread over its top instead of the bun seen on the genuine issue.
