Reprints (Koalas & Kangaroos)
During 1989 Australia Post decided to
identify reprints by adding a koala symbol to the selvedge of sheets. The symbol
was applied on each alternate row starting from the top of the sheet in both the
right and left selvedge adjacent to the corner of the stamp. (see 1 koala
reprint) In 1993 a decision was made to print the symbol on each row at both the
left and right of the sheet. (see 2 koala reprint). Successive reprints up to
and including the fourth reprint will carry additional koalas. A kangaroo is
shown for the fifth reprint and is positioned in the same way as the koalas.
Additional reprints up to the eighth reprint will show the kangaroo with the
appropriate number of koalas.
Helecon
Helecon is the commercial name for a phosphorous
which fluoresces under UV Light. It is used as an aid to electronic sorting and
canceling machines.
