			The issue information card for the four high values records stamp dimensions of 28 × 33 mm including perforation, five colours and special gumming for tropical climates. It credits artwork design to J. H. Nicholson, R.I. The card describes sheets of 50 as five stamps per row and ten rows (5 × 10), differing from the catalogue's 10 × 5 description; both source descriptions are retained pending clarification.<ref name="Information-card">{{Cite
