Identification Characteristics. See Abbreviations for Tagging, Paper, Printer and Format types.

The 37c, 48c and 64c values were reprinted on Clarke paper and released on 84-05-18, 83-12-19 and 84-06-29 respectively. However, to the naked eye, the stamps are indistinguishable. Under the UV lamp, the Clarke printings are usually duller, but not always the case. Many shade varieties exist of most values in this set, especially the 50c stamp. The blue background varies from a fairly dark shade to a very pale shade. It seems that reprints became paler and paler during its two year life span.
