Reprint - Orchid State Definitive Wilayah Persekutuan 10s and 20s

Reprint - Orchid State Definitive Wilayah Persekutuan 10s and 20s

Pos Malaysia released orchid state definitive stamps on 4 December 2018. The original stamps were printed in the format of miniature sheet (perforated and imperforated). Since then the collectors have been waiting patiently for the release of reprints of these definitive stamps in the format of 100-stamp sheet. Finally, the long waiting comes into a reality. Wilayah Persekutuan 10s and 20s stamps were released in the format of 100-stamp sheet. To my surprise, these reprints were much smaller in size than the original prints. A part of that, the reprints lack micro-printing and fluorescent mark as that of the original prints.
