Sorsi u verifika

Parzjalment verifikat

Séfi explicitly records inverted-watermark specimens and lists Crown CC for this issue. His prose says the paper remained the same as the lower values, an imprecise statement not allowed to override the explicit Crown CC reference list or the existing base record. The bounds mean base availability in 1886 and documented existence by 1913, not continuous production or a proven first-sale interval. Reverse-watermark authentication remains open.

Noti tar-riċerka: The base stamp was introduced in 1886. No exact first appearance of the inverted-watermark variety is asserted.
