The patrician's head is inverted.
This stamp is a error, rather than a deliberate sport
One day whilst Sue and I were visiting Bernard and Isobel, Colin Edwards one of the design team came in a bit concerned because there was an error on the $5 blue. Apperently on one of the stamps the patrician's head had been inverted as a check. It wasn't picked up and Colin forgot to put it back.
So one in fifty, as there are fifty $5 to a sheet.
