Press sheet consisted of 300 stamps, arranged in two columns, each having 150 stamps (10 x 15). These were then separated by perforation after the 10th line to create sheets of 100 and 50 stamps. Consequently, sheets of 100 stamps don’t have the bottom frame and sheets of 50 the upper frame. Press sheet therefore consisted of:

  • 2 sheets of 100 stamps each in 10 x 10 layout,
  • 2 sheets of 50 stamps each in 10 x 5 layout.

As sheets of 100 stamps with bottom frame also exist it is possible that these stamps were also printed in press sheets of 400 stamps. These were then separated into 4 sheets of 100 stamps each. Click here for schematic drawing.
