Sources & verification
Partially verifiedBasic issue date, denomination and design are sourced. Independent specialist verification of paper, gum, watermark and perforation varieties remains open.
Research notes: The original miniature-sheet front and SEPAC description establish two distinct €1 stamps: left, an elf painting a toy at a workbench; right, an elf holding a toy. These are included as separate basic designs. Their specialist technical attributes require independent examination.
