Installation of Terengganu Sultan - 50sen

The stamps to commemorate the installation of sultan Terengganu Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin was released on 4 March 1999. A full set of stamps contains three denominations - 30s, 50s and RM1. Showing below is the denomination 50s. These stamps were printed in the format of stamp sheet containing 50 stamps per sheet. I have three perforation sizes (P12, P13.5 and P14.5) for the 50s stamps (see below image). To surprise collectors, Pos Malaysia sold (rather than released) a miniature sheet of these stamps (containing the same three denominations) during World Youth Stamp Exhibition 2014 (1-6 December 2014) at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The size of stamps from the miniature sheet is slightly larger than the original stamps from the stamp sheets. A non-perforated miniature sheet was also sold at the same time during the stamp exhibition.
