Comments
- Many banknotes of this series feature multiple errors due to being made rather primitively for a small population. Some of these errors include:
- Missing overprints (E.g. the second print with the denomination is missing on the reverse)
- Doubled overprints of the background and/or the denomination (or both at once.)
- Paper which folded while printing, leading to something similar to a butterfly error. (Especially on the N# 476258
) - Banknotes that were cut too large or together with the empty fields of the sheets.
It may even happen that some banknotes feature multiple errors simultaneously. They are not to be catalogued as varieties.
