There are many small errors and flaws in this issue.

Perforations

Overprint proof

Overprint proof on shiny, thick, carton paper.

Errors

Plate errors on basic stamps as on the previous two provisional issues also exist.

Inverted overprints exist on stamps of 0,25 din i 0,50 din.

As a speciality, there are 4 din stamps with black overprint instead of red, but this stamp wasn’t in regular sale, and it is now declared as a proof.

FDC

Regular FDC does not exist but commemorative cancel was made and was in the use in Post office Zagreb 1 on the date of the issue.
