Additional Information

45-48 were printed with 5 types of photoclichés, arranged consecutively in the printing form of the postal sheet - twice in a row, having small and minor various characteristic defects in the image. Each horizontal bar of five stamps contains all five types of clichés. Stamps were originally printed on smooth watermarked paper. Additionally, from the 1st, 15th and 25th centuries, quantities were printed on rough paper without a watermark, which were ready on 9.III.1896 and were probably put into use then. In this second printing, there was a slight difference in the numerical designation of the face value of the 15th century stamps - the flag of the number 5 is curved (type I). Rough paper stamps are rarer - + 100%. Of all values, there are lighter or darker shades, and of those on smooth paper with a watermark - without serrations (samples). Stamps with part of the watermark are rarer.
