Our records indicate that about 400 stamps were issued, of these it is estimated that there were four sheets which were kept unused, so far only about half have been recorded


初版加蓋大字長距：洋銀半分蓋於三分銀，黃橙色，保存大部份原膠，及有細小貼痕，加蓋於中下靠左位置，是此版的特色，品相中上. 陳目47_x000D_ _x000D_ 從我們的記錄看約有400枚此類票，所以估計應有四張新的未使用版票，而目前只約有半數有記錄.
