High Value Defintives 1986 - Fruits: Banana

The $5 high value definitive has only been reprinted once. The original print was printed by photogravure with Harrison & Sons watermark and the perforation is P13.5. On the other hand, the reprint was printed by lithography with SPM watermark and the perforation is P13.75 x 14. The reprint came out in 1990s. However, the fruit high value $5 has been replaced by RM5 bird definitive since 2007. Nevertheless, some small post offices still have $5 fruit definitive (reprint) in their stock, therefore the $5 fruit definitive is still available until the stock exhausted.
