Revenue Stamp 1990 - Fluorescent Mark (I)

I talked about fluorescent mark on the palm tree stamps (issued on May 19, 2009) two weeks ago. Actually, the security feature of fluorescent mark on stamps is not really new for Malaysian stamps. The revenue stamps released on April 2, 1990 have this type of fluorescent mark as well. One will able to see "MALAYSIA HASIL" on the stamps under uv light. The corner margin showing colour asteriks aslo contains fluorescent asteriks! One more security element on these revenue stamps is the incorporation of fluorescent fibres in the paper.
