Notes: Issued in the Year of the Complicated Monkey [ Album Page ]
This is a Discworld Cinderella stamp.
During printing of the reverse, gummed ’shield’ side on the stamp the gum affected the printer causing a variation in the colour and ultimately breaking the digital printer.
There are five designs on the obverse; Hatched, Rectangle, Perforated, Cornered and Art Deco.
There were originally to be three colours, Green, Red and Blue on the reverse but with the gum problem the each colour was transformed creating three extras hues Lime, Orange and Blue-Green.
The stamp size is varied.
The design in the shield is not that appears as the arms in the New Discworld Companion. The reverse side images are courtesy of Denise Roberts.
