Please help to identify the year of this Reproduction: 1956 or 1972?

Also, for some reasons the colors of 5k and 10k are swapped to rose/blue instead of blue/rose.

Note section which states; "A 5 kop Tête-Bêche Forgery with a forged 1856 Swedish Box cancel. Note these are oriented the wrong way. The genuine examples are always "head-to-head"."

YefimR: Answering at your request...

I can't make a definitive statement about such items without examining them, but to me they look like modern fakes / reproductions. No genuine items like these ever existed, even as official reprints. One would think the faker might bother to get the correct colors on the correct denominations.

Thanks Jay, it is definitely the reproduction but I try to determine which one - official reproduction of 1956 or 1972; or may be it is the fake of the official reproduction?

I just came across this forgery, and perusing the link Don gave, the guide lines are a giveaway.





I am not sure what the writing on the back says, Fournier maybe?
