1897. Large figures?
Surcharge 1.5 mm below Chinese characters?
Color confirmed as vermillion?
Extract from Ma Catalogue...
“After the March 1897 reprinting (“2nd Print”) and the 2 1/2 mm separation overprinting, there was still a need for additional quantities of silver dollar denomination stamps. So the Dowager Issue was again reprinted and overprinted with large numerals, this time with a 1 1/2 mm separation between characters and numerals.
“Very few belatedly returned first printing stamps received the 1 1/2 mm separation large numeral overprint. Some are extremely scarce and valuable.”

Hello! Here is a 1c. on 1 Cd. vermillion stamp with an inverted surcharge. I'm not quite sure if it's the First Printing of the Dowager Issue, which is surcharged in small figures. Another thing I have been quite concerned about is the amount of fake surcharges that are often found on these issues? Is there any method of discerning between genuine and fake surcharges?
