20l. sky-blue (pos.150) canceled "ΠΕΙΡΑΙΕΥΣ*6.ΑΥΓ.69" without control numbers on reverse. In Koundouros study (error 38.2) it mentioned the existance of 20 lepta stamps without control numbers from the right marginal column of the sheet. Good/clear margins but a closing corner (mentioned just for accuracy), still a very fine copy of this great rarity. (Hellas 27a).
