Other Fournier forgeries, with 'FAC-SIMILE' printed on the
backside.
Forgery on the left has a watermark. In my view the final 'O' of
'TOSCANO' is slanting backwards in this 60 Cr Fournier forgery.
Also the bottom left part of the 'Z' of 'CRAZIE' is damaged.
Could the above forgeries be the Fournier forgeries with (!) watermark? In my opinion, for the lower values, the line just above the value inscription is too thick in the Fournier forgeries.
