1) This is the highest number from the third printing of the 15 cts. value. For details please look here.
2) This is the highest known number for the 40 cts. rose. The highest number of the 40 cts. olive is 012,806.
3) The numbering of the 15 cts. Medallón value is very complexe. A seperate elaboration will follow.
4) This numbering contains both recess printed values in green and violet. The typographic issue runs
from A 241,732 to B 048,658 (numbers from my own collection).
5) In 1917/18 a small number of the 40cts value was printed in salmon; controls around A 109,000 to A 116,000.
6) The numbering of the 50 cts. Medallón value is different for the two shades (greenish blue & bright blue)
7) This is the highest known number for the 10 cts. green. The highest number of the 10 cts. red is A 020,000.
8) This is the highest known number for the 15 cts. type II. For numbers on type I and Ia look here.
9) This is the highest known number for the 25 cts. type II. For numbers on type I look here.
10) Carlos Lenze and Miguel Gálvez mentioned a numbering up to A 012,000.
11) This is the highest known number for the 40 cts. type II. For numbers on type I look here.
12) No control number beginning with Ñ in this serie.
13) Two erroneously overprinted sheets of the 4 ptas Vaquer value (A 005,469 & A 005,533) were postally used in Barcelona.

*) A copy with the low control number A.088,891 in my collection is probably a numbering error.
**) This is the highest control number from the 15 cts. Cadete I actually own. Probably a numbering error.
***) The control numbers of the 10 pts. value should go up to A 005,000 corresponding to Carlos Lenze. I've never seen a higher number than the one shown here.
