Specimen Type D16 Multiple Script CA Watermark
(ex De La Rue Archives) Plate 1, Sheet Number 111
The two printings on Multiple Script CA watermarked paper were of 125 sheets on 22 July 1926 and 105
sheets on 26 August 1929. Although the practice of numbering sheets sometimes included part sheets, it is
likely that the example numbered ‘111’ is from the 1926 printing.
