Details

When making the pressure cylinders for the 85c / 39c stamp from 2001, because the value indication started to run through the hair, certain points of the hair fell out of the digital recordings for the portrait cylinder. It concerns 2 dots to the right of a pentagon. Later Struycken pointed out to the printer - with the other values, the value indication did not take up so much space - that those 2 dots had to be repeated. The first stamps with the restored portrait appeared at the beginning of 2003.
