Title:
Arakelots Church on the Island of Lake Sevan
Description:
Not issued, but was sold unofficially on the black market. First lithographic form: The entire surface of the lake is shaded up to the line of the distant shore; the first mountain on the left is shaded horizontally; the area of the sky above the denomination number is white; the hatching of the earth from the bottom frame along the body of the fish is horizontal.
The stamp has two colors - black-blue and indigo, both with perforation and imperforate. Second lithographic form: Not the entire surface of the lake is shaded - a white stripe is left along the line of the distant shore; the first mountain on the left is shaded diagonally; the area of the sky above the face value is covered with dots; the ground from the lower frame along the body of the fish has a mesh hatching.
The stamp is black and blue, only imperforate. Secret signs: on the lower horizontal line of the frame, at a distance of 5 - 3.8 mm from the right corner, there is a thickening created by an oblique stroke 1.2 mm long; the right vertical line of the frame protrudes 0.4 mm higher than the upper horizontal line of the frame. These secret signs are common to both lithographic forms. Attention! Stamps without secret signs are forgery.
