India, Early Lithographed Issues, Part 2

Thuillier began work on the One Anna variety using a better version of the Indian vermilion ink. Similar to the Half Anna variety, three different dies of the One Anna variety are known. These can again be distinguished on the basis of the differences in details of the chignon, corner ornaments, diadem, etc.
