About this plate
TASMANIA'S PREVIOUS GENERAL ISSUE, 1970-2008, AND A CAUTION ABOUT WHAT IT IS NOT. THE MONTH-LETTER DECODE IS DELIBERATELY NOT MODELLED AS DATA. It is recorded in prose in the charset note, which is where a fact that cannot be safely machine-applied belongs.
How numbers are issued
AA-0000 onward after the December 1971 abandonment of the month letters; reported to have reached the DS block by 1998 and the F block by the end of the run
