		1968 De La Rue Essay (20x24mm) for an unadopted R10 revenue stamp hand painted in turquoise-green, deep turquoise-green and deep claret. The design incorporates the Botswana Coat of Arms. The issued revenue stamps had a similar design but were monocoloured and in a horizontal format. Mounted on thick card (104 x 116mm). A corner crease does not detract and is well clear of the essay, which is very fine and attractive. Unique.
