Harvesters Type

Three new values of the harvesters issue were made during 1923, as inflation continued to gain pace.

500 korona grey-black SG 398

600 korona bistre SG 399

800 korona orange-yellow SG 400

One further value (400k) was added when a number of values were re-issued with a new watermark on June 1st.
In this re-issue a few sheets of the 600k had 800 in the top right corner of position 12, creating a very scarce but distinctive variety.
