Substitution of lesser estate value limits duty basis on second death to property-specific duty, not the average rate.

The proviso requires that when the value on the second death exceeds the value on which duty was payable on the first death, the lesser value be substituted to determine the duty relatable to the qualifying property; this substitution applies to the property-specific duty computation and not to calculation of the average rate of duty on the second death.
