Fruit Definitive (Starfruit) - Serial Number

Here are the serial numbers for high value fruit definitive RM2. I have three series numbers in my collection, and I am not sure if there is any other than these ones. Click here to see more detail on the RM2 fruit definitive.

Fruit Definitive (Mango) - Serial Number

The high value fruit definitive RM10 is still currently in circulation. The detail of the RM10 can be viewed here. Up to date, two different serial numbers have been recorded for this RM10 fruit definitive i.e. 2002/01 and 2003/1. There could be new series numbers for RM10 fruit definitive in future once the 2003/1 stock is exhausted because the bird definitives (released in 2005) do not have denomination RM10.

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 However, the fruit high value $5 has been replaced by RM5 bird definitive since 2007.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.

Anguilla - Whales

Anguilla postal authority also issued a set of stamps on whale in 1995. Four whale species (blue whale, right whale, sperm whale and humpback whale) were depicted in the stamps, and the species are the same as that of Australian issued in 1982. However, the design of the Anguillan stamps is not as good as that of the Australian. Nevertheless, the Anguillan set demands higher catalogue value.

Australia - Whales

Australia postal authority issued a set of stamps on whale in 1982. Four whale species were depicted in the stamps i.e. sperm whale, southern right whale, bule whale and humpback whale. The design of the stamps is good. I quite like them.
