Monkey Stamp - Ring Flaw

On 16 December 2003, Pos Malaysia released a set of four stamps (30s and 50s, two types each) on topic of Red Leaf and Probobsis Monkeys. The stamp issue was released as part of the programme of Stamp Week 2003. A ring flaw was recorded in one of the 30s stamps. The ring flaw is located at the left arm of the red leaf monkey. All the stamps were printed in a sheet format of 5x4 (20 stamps in a sheet). The stamp showing the ring flaw is the stamp located on row 4 column 3. This ring flaw is consistent in the stamp sheets.

The left stamp is a normal one and the right stamp shows ring flaw on the left arm of the red leaf monkey.
