Malaya - Federated Malay States 1900 $25 green and orange, type 2 overprint on Perak, SG14 Queen Elizabeth II stamps A few slightly shortish perforationsMalaya Federated Malay States 1900 $25 green and orange, type 2 overprint on Perak, SG14. A fine and fresh mint example with large part original gum and with exceptional colour. Much better centring than most of the few examples known. A classic design of British Empire philately featuring elephants with the Howdah (the ornate carriage on the elephants back). Choice quality for this key Malayan rarity and far superior to the 'Aat de Peijper' example
