This set was our first regular definitive issue. The design was by Mr Inzander Berenku, the Government Printer. The stamps were printed by letterpress by the Imperial Occussi-Ambeno Government Printing Office (KDPN) using an Adana 8-5 platen press. The highest value was also issued as a souvenir sheet containing a single stamp.
