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.

Too Much Above Face Value

In 2000s, Pos Malaysia had released and is still releasing from time to time imperforated miniature sheets. All these imperforated miniatures (those released after 2000) were sold without incurring premium (face value). Well, the situation was a bit different in 1999..... Pos Malaysia released a imperforated miniature - the Petronas Twin Towers (see below), and it was sold at a very high premium - RM38. Pos Malaysia was definitely over board on this imperforated miniature sheet, and I think Pos Malaysia might have realized the "mistake"....



Petronas Twin Towers MS - Original Print vs Reprint

Many of us are not aware that the Petronas Twin Towers MS released in 1999 has been reprinted. It must be due to the immense demand from the collectors and non-collectors. The original print and reprint of this MS can be recognized easily by looking closely at the control number (located on the left bottom) on the MS. The control number for the original print is printed clearly whereas the control number for reprint is hand stamped.
