the 100 Mk. were printed on Ligat paper. The second printing of the

gum, whereby the gum of the wove paper is white, smooth and shiny.

pane of the 100 Mk. is enclosed in an rectangular frame in the color
of the stamp. All panes have marginal figures on the left and top
side.

the Krooni overprints were issued. Valid until December 31, 1940.
