New Currency Definitives

Due to the severe inflation of the korona, a new currency with 100 filler equal to 1 pengo was introduced. This required new postage stamps which were initially introduced on 26th March (4f, 8f, 16f, 20f, 32f and 40f), with further values at later dates. The smaller definitives initially had Perf 15, but all are also known Perf 14. along with the larger definitives.
