roll stamps

Roulette stamps printed since 1933 are type IIB.

​

Peace Type IIB has the following characteristics:

​

  • The "C" of 50c is touched up with a more rounded final loop

 

  • Two solid lines under the belt buckle

 

  • And finally, what distinguishes it from Type IIA, a pronounced bulge under    “REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE”
