ABNC sunken die proof for the first (and short lived) General Duty Series of Argentinean revenue stamps. The left hand (smaller) vignette was used on stamp values up to $90 whereas the right hand (slightly larger) vignette was used on values of $100 and above. A very nice introductory item for any collection of Argentinean revenues.
