Hello,
I have this 2011 Koala miniature sheet from Mozambique.
Looking through my Scott's catalogue I found #2482 which is similar but not the same.



As listed in the catalogue this should be a mini sheet of 6 x 66MT stamps.
My sheet is 3 x 16 MT and 3 x 66MT.

I've seen both in my internet searches but cannot find any reference to the sheet I have. Additionally I have several other sheets with the same unreferenced format (not the 6 x 66MT format as described in the catalogue entries).

Any ideas or reference information you can provide would be greatly appreciated/

Curious indeed. Here are 3 adjacent ebay listings with 3 different versions of the same design.

The top is 6x66, the middle (#2517) is 6x66 but with a Indonesia 2012 Stamp Show label added to the design that caused the inscription of the Koala's name in the stamp design to be moved, and then the 3x16+6x66. All the mint ones I found were 6x66 and all the CTO were the 3x16+6x66 combination but that could just be a coincidence. Not a surprise the country wanted to make some extra revenue by issuing different formats.
Maybe Scott declined to list the 3x16+6x66 combination if they are only available as CTO and hence not valid for postage? My Scott catalog does have a footnote in the 2006 listings saying "The following items ... have been declared "illegal" by the Mozambique postal officials: .. Princess Diana .. Pope John Paul ... etc". Apparently some shenanigans going on in that part of the philatelic world.
