One state is known before cancellation.

State 1

Impression: K1500102
There is no signature or inscription.
Two short curving parallel scratches, near the top of the second mast from the left, are conspicuous in some impressions (Graphic with a link to impression #K1500104) but not in others, possibly as a result of inking. In addition there are longer diagonal scratches at upper right that are clear on some impressions (Graphic with a link to impression #K1500106, Graphic with a link to impression #K1500102) but appear to have worn or been rubbed down in later impressions (Graphic with a link to impression #K1500105, Graphic with a link to impression #K1500110).
