A VF used example of the 5/- dull green and ultramarine, King Edward VII De La Rue Keyplate stamps from the 1903-1904 Crown CA watermarked issue. According to J.F Ince in his definitive work, there were a total of 1,680 5/- stamps issued.

2022 Scott Classic values a VF-75 used example at $350. This is a very rare stamp in used condition, as the rario of mint to used tends to be at least 10 to one.
