This 500 rupiah stamp (Sc #1438) of Indonesia was issued on July 23, 1990 to commemorate National Children's Day. Interestingly, there are 2 horizontal rows of tagging in the form of inscribed pentagons on the front of this stamp and also fluorescent fibers in the stamp paper. Scanning and photo editing brought this to my attention.   |
