Great Britain #4 had the same color as the original two pence stamp but included a white line above the words "TWO PENCE" to distinguish it from the first printing. This stamp is far more scarce than #3 as it paid the double rate and only 90 million were printed (less than 5% of the number of one-penny stamps printed).
Each of these stamps has letters in the bottom corners indicating which position the stamp was printed in on the sheet of 240. The letter on the left indicates the row the stamp was in, while the letter on the right indicates the column. For example, "E" on the left and "B" on the right would indicate the stamp was printed in the fifth row, second column from left.
