| III: THE REJECTED DIE ISSUE
AND THE
THIRD
ISSUE |
| The Rejected
Die Issue was developed to
compensate for shortages of the 1 att, 2 atts, 3 atts, 4 atts and 10
atts
stamps. This bore the three quarter face portrait of King Chulalongkorn
whereas
the second issue had the full face portrait. The
inscription and the frame encircling the portrait were
similar to
the second issue, except for some very slight modifications in detail
and
slight variations in the proportions of the various parts of the
design. The
issue included values of 1 att, 2 atts, 3 atts, 4 atts and 10 atts. The King did not approve of the design and
the stamps were never approved for use. |
