Comments

Note: SCWPM lists this note as printed on blue paper. But different places with pictures show the note on a pale brown/white paper too. This is probably due to waer and tear, since the blue was a part of the print and not a part of the paper itself.
 

A total of 301 800 were printed.


For all notes in this serie the decorative pattern to the left exist in 3 different designs. So called Wium types I, II and III. For this note, the difference lay in how the decorations and letter intertwine.
