Questa designed and printed the issue using [[wikipedia:en:Lithography|lithography]]. Perforation is 14½ × 13½. Sheets contained 100 stamps (10 × 10), with imprints in the right-hand corner of the bottom margin and the left-hand corner of the top margin. The plate numbers were 1A and 1B, each ×3.<ref name="SG2022" />

The catalogue records examples of printing (b) used from mid-August 1973 onwards, earlier than its listed date of 1 September. The printing letters are catalogue reference codes, not suffixes to SG D5.<ref name="SG2022" />

== Sold out ==

For printing (a), the catalogue gives a series-level sold-out range of 13 August to 10 September 1973, without a separate date for this denomination. Printing (b) of the 4p value had sold out by 31 December 1975. These statements do not establish formal withdrawal from sale or invalidation for postage.<ref name="SG2022" />
