The 50 paras stamp is a forgery. I have one of these too!
As you say the fonts are different.
A specific test is that the topmost circle/dot in the righthand group of four in the crescent is touching the line to its left while it doesn't in the genuine stamps.

The basic 20 piastres scarlet consulate stamp of 1907 was produced in three types of paper: pelure, medium and thick.
I think this one has the "FRCS. 5" surcharge for the consulate(s) in France although it's not clear. |

1990 Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Pictormark.   |
