A group of 9 examples of 1895 Formosan Republic third issue “Tiger” 100c in blue-black,
comprising three single stamps and one block of four, all unused. Printed on thin paper with uneven perforations and vivid red impressions, these represent typical products of the Republic’s final printing phase. Collectively, they illustrate the overprinting characteristics and plate variations of the 50c third issue, providing valuable insight into the printing technique and workmanship flaws of the final Formosan Republic postal period. Mizuhara "Huayou Jijin II" vol. 7, p.277.
