HOH-MO4/MR4; KM-A376.2; DP-Mo01. Flat top "3". Much scarcer than the 1824 issues. Variety where ray points to star and is close to "8". Superscript "s" of Granos is between "G" and end stop of legend. Head of snake aligns with vertical leg of "R". There is a diagnostic die chip in field between the left and right wing.
