Collector’s Note: The "Hybrid" Sheet
This is an interesting item because it is a se-tenant sheet, meaning it contains different stamp designs and denominations on the same sheet.
• The Subject: Collectors who specialise in "Numismatics on Stamps" (coins shown on stamps) find these particularly appealing.
• Preservation: To keep its value, do not fold the sheet.
