Australia Stamp Reprints

The marginal emblems (koalas and/or kangaroos) were added to Australian stamps in 1988 and continue to today. These are put on to the stamp sheets by the printers to identify a reprinting of a current stamp. These usually occur in definitive sets which are in use over several years and may have several printings and also may have been printed by more than one printer. The first print has no marking, the second one koala emblem, the third two koalas and so on. The sixth printing is marked by a kangaroo, the seventh by a kangaroo and a koala, the eight a Kangaroo and two koalas. The current largest number of printing is eleven (or ten reprints) - with small stamps two kangaroos are the ninth reprint as it is impossible to fit 1 Roo and 4 Koalas in the selvedge - with 2 Roos 1 Koala, is the 20c Saltwater Crocodile, 1997-98 Nature of Australia – Kakadu Wetlands Reprints and new for 2016 the 2 Roos 1 Koala 30c Saltwater Crocodile from the 1992-98 Wildlife series.
