The Farley special printing of the souvenir sheet, Number 770, was printed by the flat plate method, imperforate and not gummed and was issued as a full sheet of 120 stamps, with 20 panes of 6 stamps separated by 23 mm gutters. The souvenir sheet, Number 750, was sold as a pane of 6 stamps with the inscriptions in the margins as illustrated. Anything less than a full pane of 6 is given the suffix "a". Number 750/750a and 770/770a are distinguished by the presence of a 23 mm gutter in the latter. Finally, if the stamp does not include any marginal inscriptions or a large gutter it must be assumed to be the Farley reprint, Number 758.
