1900 56° Krone / Adler Overprints
In May 1900, a second printing of Karolinen overprints came into use. This second printing featured the same “Karolinen” overprint, but at a steeper angle (56°) than the earlier printing (48°).
The 56° Overprints are the more common variant, and are valued as such.
The 3 Pf and 25 Pf can be found with plate flaws on the underlying stamps.
