• The stamps were issued in individual small panes. This one is Cancelled To Order with no date.

• This piece from the archives of Format Security Printers is also illustrated in the section on Arab Mother's Day for 1968, as the stamp on the right was issued in that set. The values were also changed.

• The panes were obviously printed side by side and then trimed down the center. This is part of two panes that were not trimed down the center

• Another very rare essay from the archives of Format International Security Printers. It not only includes the four images for the 1968 Children's Day, but an image of the artwork for the 1967 Rubens Painting set portraying his painting A Peasant Boy Leaning on a Sill. Also note that the images for the Children's Day set are all 1 Riyal values. The final set of four stamps all had different values and can be seen in the images at the top of the page. Additionally, the writing at the top of each stap, in blue, is different in the issued stamps.
