This error was caused by a shift similar to that of the double "ZONE" error, though, in this instance, the overprint was shifted to the left on the right pane of 100 leaving the right vertical row without an overprint. Just as with the double "ZONE", there is a discrepancy of ten between the numbers recorded of the double "CANAL" error (20) and the omitted overprint (10 [an 11th was caused by a foldover]). Again it is probable that the other ten stamps with the missing overprint were destroyed by authorities.
