Although this issue was supposedly authorized by the Guinea postal administration, virtually the whole issue was not sold in Guinea, but only distributed by the philatelic agency France Philatelie for distribution onto the philatelic market.
Apparently the Guinea Republic was using multiple stamp agencies in this year.
See the illegal stamp categories for similar verified counterfeit illegal stamps made by this printer and distributed to this day by the owner of the now defunct philatelic "agencies" and his associated counterfeit distributors mainly located in the UK and USA.
