caption_attribution_description: English: This is a scan I made of a Fournier fake of a postage stamp from Tuscany, originally issued in 1852, (Scott Catalog no. 9) and consequently not subject to any copyright world wide.
context_page_description: Between 1851 and 1860, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, an independent Italian state until 1859 when it joined the United Provinces of Central Italy, produced two postage stamp issues which are among the most prized classic stamp issues of the world, and include the most valuable Italian stamp.
context_section_description: Tuscany's postage stamps have been forged numerous times for the philatelic market. Fernand Serrane stated in 1927 that "a small book would be needed to describe in detail the more than 100 or so counterfeits of the first two Tuscany issues."
