- Description:
- This series of King William stamps has been produced by two printers over the years. NVPH makes the following distinction:
A. Rijksmunt Utrecht issue:
NVPH lists 1 stamp from this issue NVPH NL 5A.
B. Joh. Enschedé issue (from 1866 onward):
NVPH lists 1 stamp from this issue NVPH NL 5B.
The difference between the issue of Rijksmunt and Joh. Enschedé is usually difficult and sometimes impossible to determine with individual stamps. The stamps can best be judged by color in daylight. An aid is to view the colors in UV light. The following differences can then be seen:
10 cent Rijksmunt issue - yellow brown
10 cent John Enschedé issue - red brown
Print run includes:
Printed by Rijksmunt, Utrecht (9,100,000 1864-1866)
