Copper electros were used for the plating of the issue (this allowed for better dry ink adherence to the plate). It is thought that the amount of nickel coating on the plates, which was applied for the first during this issue, were not adequate to prevent the plates from wearing down.</div> <bR> <div> The subsequent pages provide examples found on the <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Verdana" ><A HREF="id443.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Australiavar1"><U>2d</U></A></FONT>, 3d and 2/- values.
