1992 Columbus Miniature Sheets

On 22nd May 1992 a set of six miniature sheets was issued in connection with the 5th Centenary of the 'Discovery' of America by Christopher Columbus. The USA and Portugal produced similar sheets.

Some of the sheets which contained the 600 lire value had COLOMBG instead of COLOMBO due to a flaw.
